HI, my dad has & has had throat cancer this is his 6th year. He has a trache & peg tube. pain getting worse. Waiting for step mother to call in hospice . I have seen too many people die of cancer & with this type I just not sure what to expect? What is going to happen to the very strong loving man? What can I do to help make him comfortable?
HIT hank for asking to Chat Doctor Sorry to hear that, it is not, always the thing is like that only, we can't say that cancer patient always dies because of it, one can live up to the normal span of life with the disease, I would advise you to give him lot of moral support, try to spend more time with him, listen him carefully whatever he says no matter in what way he does it, good nursing care is the best medicine on this stage, it may some times bring very surprising result, take care of your father, I would be happy to answer your further query, have good day.
