[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he has dementia not what you want to hear but why start chemo? Dementia is miserable especially on top of cancer. I’m sorry you are going through this. [/quote] Good point.[/quote] +1 that was my thought too. Dementia and a feeding tube - it might be worthwhile to at least meet with a palliative care team to clarify goals (it’s different than hospice). If may be your dad wishes to go full-steam ahead and of course that should be respected - but he might be doing it for your mom. Is he able to participate in discussions about his care and preferences? It sounds like you’ve done everything you can. I think it’s okay to take a step back. [/quote]
