My dad has thyroid cancer and the ct scan report says he has a enlarged lymph node in his groin area and several in his chest area. He can have no more treatments done is what his drs. say if the cancer has spread. So what health changes can we expect to see in him in the months ahead???
The changes will show in how tired he feels, more infections and likely increasing pain. Please consider hospice care when medical opinion says he has six months or less to live. Hospice will control his pain and offer support - practical, emotional and spiritual - to him and your whole family. Some people live longer under hospice care, because pain is controlled. The doctor will help with these decisions if you ask. Take care of yourself, too. This is all difficult to handle.

Mindingourelders- thank you for your response also you have given me more information than all of these drs put together have and I appreciate your honesty about that. That is all we want to know. Why do they have to keep us in the dark about this stuff. And I found a swollen lymph node under his arm today. Thank you again!!!! Hugs. Stormy
