Scared to death of what will happen next. Third recurrence, have been told tumor attached to trach., esophagus, thyroid and inoperable. Have managed to keep tumor from growing with 6 months of chemo, not working anymore and out of options.
No clinical trials avail. right now for head and cancer!!! That is sad how limited our cancer type has only a few drugs to help.
Wondering if any family members on this site can give me advise or what to expect in the near future?
I have read hospice, can help and wondering how they can help when my breathing is blocked by tumor? Morphine coma....choking to death sounds horrible. I am a DNR, but can't imagine having my husband watch this process?
We Don,t have local hospice home, so it is in my own bed or local hospital?
I can feel the blockage getting worse and don't know what to do. We have appt. Tomorrow with medical oncologist, but want input from this site also. Have referred to this site for ten lonG wonderful years, from my first cancer.
Any advise anyone can give me, might ease the burden on my also frightened spouse.
