                    Hi Im sorry to hear you are facing this too.

                    I suppose my father was really fortunate in the scheme of things. He battled nodular melanoma for 18 months and in that time his quality of life was good. One month before he passed away his leg started to become more paralysed (he had brain mets) and then in the last two weeks he couldn't stand and was wheelchair bound. He was in not a lot of pain and was coherent, he'd just nod off during a conversation and then in the final week his sight was really blurred. He went into pallative care on the Wednesday because he started to experience stomach pain (he had mets in his liver). Im not sure maybe my dad had a good pain threshold but he only started on morphine on that Wednesday and he passed away peacefully on the Friday. You could still rouse him into a short conversation up until the night before he passed. One episode of agitation and then they sedated him. We pretty much lost him then, but his body continued on until midday the following day. It was a peaceful death.

                    I suppose everyone's experience is unique.

                    All the best on your journey.

                                I'm at loss as well. I don't know how to comfort you at this time but know that this community is with you. Some things we cannot control, but there is never a need to give up hope either.

                                Hang in there.

                                Love
