It was the help and advice of the macmillan nurses that saw us through, could you not speak to his doctor? They might be able to assist with something alongside a painkiller.

Realistically at 95 with pancreatic cancer his body will most likely yield to that quickly which is cold comfort I know

Yes, got a call last night that he had died. My answer without thinking was 'good' which has made me feel awful all over again tbh.

I do wonder how long this would have gone on for if he hadn't taken it into his own hands as much as he could...as it was the refusal of medication that seems to have got him in the end as it was a heart attack. Which was his plan.

Obviously wouldn't have gone on for years, but could have been another month or so.
