I lost a dear family member to this disease and their final days is haunting me. Trying to make sense of what happened.
They were fine one day, in terms of communication with an occasional hallucination but were obviously getting weaker. Actually surprisingly ate (alot) more than the previous days, solid food at that. Mentioned it was starting to affect their eyes with blurry vision (sign of spread to brain?). The next day, we found them in a completely restless state. There was no communication whatsoever and no signs they recognized any of us. They still had strength in both arms and legs (which has me questioning stroke?) but obviously couldn't walk. Restlessness went away after the dosage of pain medication was increased and they slept for the following days until it was their time.
Could it have been a mini stroke/blood clot to brain? Cancer reached the brain? Or was this the normal?
Passed away less than a month after their Stage IV diagnosis.
