My father-in-law is in the final stages of Stage IV liver and stomach cancer. He was told in October that he had maybe 3 months to live. He, too, chose no treatment because of so many of his friends having gone through this and being so very sick. Well, he hunted all season (through January 31st) and when hunting season was over, he started going downhill. He began to look jaundiced and by the end of March, he was so yellow, even the whites of his eyes just glowed. The doctors told my mother-in-law that was a sign of his liver failing. He just felt tired all of the time and by the end of April, he was sleeping all the time and eating very little. He is still hanging on and it is so very sad to see him like he is. He was a very vibrant, outgoing person that would have rather been in the woods with his sons than anywhere else. He doesn't throw up because there is nothing in his stomach but he does have a lot of heartburn and stays very nauseated. Hospice gave him Meranol (I may not be spelling it right) which I was told was a marijuana pill to help with the nausea and to give him an appetite. It worked at first but it seems like he has a hard time swallowing now. That could be from him being dehydrated.
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. This is a very cruel disease and I hate that anyone has to go through it. I will be praying for you and your family.
