I would very much like to find the other dealing with this same situation. Thank you, David.
I will try to find the time to get on here more often.
Hospice is now coming in two times each week & I am just starting to make use of Hospice volenteers so that I can get out a bit more.
We are lucky that the cancer has not made his Alzheimer's any worse & he is still in moderate stages in that respect. The cancer is migrating to his neck and we are told it will likely go to the lung. From what I understand, this type of cancer usually migrates upward to the brain but his is doing just the opposite.
