    Wanted to give an update. Dad was moved to a unit where there are no drs. He was weaned to 7.5mg dexamethasone from 10mg. This was a bad move as he’s stopped eating. Drinking minimal amounts. Has swallowing difficulties. Now a chest infection and requires oxygen.
    I’ll call palliative team and ask if it’s time for their services.
    Wish they would have kept him on 10mg… I don’t understand their rationale for the decrease.

    So I’ll update this thread just in case it helps someone else. Met with haematogisy who gives weeks to months prognosis. They started dexamethasone and IV fluids. My dad’s mood is very very low. Of course I’ve decided to stay in wales.
