    praying
    Mike,

    I am praying for your son and family. I do not know the story, but I feel your pain watching your son suffer. I am praying for a miracle for your son and comfort for you and your daughter. May you feel the arms of Jesus enclosing you with comfort.

    God's comfort,
    Debbie

    I'm so sorry Mike. My dad is
    I'm so sorry Mike. My dad is gone 6 years (2/6) from AML & reading the beginning of your story is similar to what happened to him

    Is he able to tolerate Actiq pops? Speak to the Dr. They work well for cancer pain; much better then patches. They can suck on it a few minutes & not have to have a lot of pain med in their system.

    ~Hugs

    I want to add the time line
    I want to add the time line for my dad since I don't get here much-
    Heart & lung function was about 28% January 1st; by the 20th he was very weak; & by 2/2 I believe we had hospice come. He was gone by 10pm 2/6 & went very peacefully.
    Around the 18th his right arm blew up like popeye; it was on the same side as the picc line they removed. They did not treat it. When he was hospitalized on the 1st; they did a pet & found something in his colon & liver but could not do tests. They assumed at that point it had spread.

    If you do not know his heart & lung function; ask.
    The timeline can be different for your son since he is young. My dad was 69.
    Hope this helps. We were clueless until he couldn't get out of bed. The new Dr he had; lied to us & kept telling us he could have a year but when I ordered his files; his records said a few weeks at most. Very upset they were not honest when I asked the right aquestions
