Thanks guys for the gut check. I had assumed it was not gonna be a pretty picture, I just want to prepare for what is inevitable. I really appreciate your help and prayers!
My mom died of Lung Cancer, Lost 1/2 left lung at age 71 cancer came back at age 73 and was given 6 weeks to two months, lasted for 6 months.
The last two weeks were not good but was made worse because an intern resesatated (sp) mom after she had slipped into a coma. Had he followed the living will Mom had requested she would not have had to indure those terrible two weeks. Hospice can really help in this area I am told.
My best advice is let your FIL live each day to the fullest and don't let yourself or other family members cross any bridges before you/they have to. We all go down this road and its how we live that really counts!
God Bless, you and yours are in my prayers.
