My Dad has secondary liver cancer. We havent had a CT scan in a few months, but recently his stomach and abdomon have become VERY swollen. Does this mean he is getting worse? He is no longer on any treatment besides natural ones. Does his swollen stomach and feet mean that there's no turning back and that he is on the path to dying?
My dad's feet and stomach became swollen also. I was told that it is from the liver failing to purify the blood and his body beginning to shut down. He was given laxatives to help relaese some of the baked uo liquids. My dad begged us to tell them to stop with the laxatives because it was painful to go to the bathroom every hour. Unfortunately this also raises the potassium level whcih causes the heart to become damaged. He was called to God only last week but he went with dignity. Listen to what they want because it is all about their dignity and pride in the end. Your family is in my prayers the end is hard to watch.
