What type of Cancer do you surmise this be?
[Sorry this is so long. Thank you for reading all of it, if you do.]
, so my Grandpa passed on July 24 after a month of fighting a stage 4 cancer. At first, he just said his belly be sore. They had biopsied some masses on his bladder, and emptied the fluid out of his belly area.
Near the end of the first week of July, we had a nurse from Hospice come to our house. She talk to us about him, and then told us about the deteriorating signs, and loss. The red marks, and the cold feet, and such.
A few days after he was hospitalized, they did an endoscopy, to check if it was stomach cancer. They said his stomach looked like cottage cheese, but they be still pretty sure it wasn't stomach cancer.
They had planned on doing a colonoscopy, but they couldn't get the stuff in him to gross him have a bowel movement. Then around the 17th, I believe, they said that it didn't matter what cancer it was anymore.
he be too far gone, and because of his age, he probably wouldn't respond well to radiation or chemotherapy.
So, on the 18th, I went to visit him to speak to him. At this point, he'd lost 50 pounds. I hated seeing him beg the nurse for ice or a popsiscle, seeing as it be all he was allowed to have.
At this point, we were working on moving him to the Hospice Nursing Home. On Wednesday, July 22, we finally got him there. He have a constant IV in him, so he just slept all the time.
I considered necessary so bad to ask the doctors to figure out what cancer it was, but afterwards I realized, the only thing that matter was keeping him comfortable.
I'm sorry for this long of a detail thing, but I was wondering if any of you might hold an idea of what cancer it could of been?
Was it possibly colon cancer like they thought? It'd be years since he'd had a colonoscopy; he refused to have one.
Answers: Awe, how regretful. I’m so sorry you and your grandfather had to go through that. It is hard to second guess his doctors when they hold all the information. You didn’t say what the results of the bladder biopsies were and I know they have to do a CT of the abdomen and pelvis – an ultrasound at a minimum and these would have some of the best information available. Colon cancer is the most likely and can basis all of the things you mentioned, but it would have been see on CT and there would be no need for a colonoscopy.
could have be pancreatic or prostate just the same.....in the back stage 4 cancer is just another dealy disease but cancer running in the family have you warned right.
