Little update, he is having 5 rads to breast bone for palliative care then that is it......he has really gonedown quick in48 hrs.... No energy to talk, etc, dr said due to high calcium 13.4....... He is on mess to try and bring that down but I know high calcium in late stage cancer is not good... Dr will not give any time frame of WHEN he may die........ I was hoping till Xmas but now realistically thinking it could be the next week or so I just do not know what to look for? Any brutally honest opinions is wanted please
