My father-in-law is in the last stages of Stage IV gallbladder cancer with mets to the stomach and liver. He is severely jaudiced and cannot walk without assistance. My father-in-law has now stopped eating. It has been five days since he ate a bite of food. He is drinking very little and his urine looks like rust. He says his stomach hurts but that's the only pain he has, except for his toes being very sore (I don't understand this at all). He sleeps all the time now and my husband said he blacked out 4 times this morning while trying to go to the bathroom. How long can he last with no food and very little liquids?
Somebody please help. I am so worried. I can't stand the thought of him starving to death.
