[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks everyone! My father is not in a place to make his own decisions. He was clear he didn't want his life artificially cut short but it's hard to say how much longer he has with no hospice. I don't know how one might tell he if he is super close to death. He is on oxygen and cannot walk. Oxygen levels fluctuate but other viral signs look okay. Many many smaller diseases but the only thing that looks like it imminently stands to kill him is the pulmonary fibrosis, which although quite bad already, can sometimes be slow progressing. To my very inexperienced eyes he seems close to death but I know some people can live a long time immobile and on oxygen so I don't really know.[/quote] Is keeping him on the pulmonary fibrosis meds even worth it? It seems it will just prolong his suffering. [/quote]
