Good morning, @dgordillo, I’ve been thinking about you so much over the past few days. Has there been any change in your husband’s decision not to return to his oncologist?

This has to incredibly emotional and difficult for you to cope with his reluctance to continue treatments. Have you at least been able to get in touch with his doctor to help you with some options such as palliative care or hospice, when the time comes? This is as much for you as it is your husband. These services can help patients cope with pain management, counseling, personal care and offer support to family members.

Thank you
No, he has no plans to see a dr. He has different symptoms all the time and I don’t know what new developments they ate associated with. His blood work for his heart such as triglycerides was so high in December that his blood clogged the machine! He wont take any medication other than Tylenol or Ibuprofen. He doesn’t tell me much because he doesn’t want me trying to diagnose him. He said it makes him feel like he is dying tomorrow. I just don’t know what to expect or how to help him.
