My amazing Dad died on Saturday 3rd September, aged 59. He went down hill very quickly, 4 weeks after stopping treatment. The photo posted was an amazing day I shared with him only 2 weeks before he passed away.
He died very peacefully at home. He was only bed ridden in last day, & stayed very comfortable & it was a very dignified death. He only started morphine/sedation pump + bolus doses which I was able to manage 24 hours prior. He died with myself, my mother, brother, nana & cat by his side.
We had his funeral yesterday & it really was an amazing send off. Thank you all those on this Forum that have given me support over these last years. I have been a very frequent visitor although probably more on the quiet side.
