Is this the end?

My husband (51) was diagnosed in March 2024. It was supposedly stage 3C and then when it reoccurred in April 2025 he had liver Mets and dr gave him 2 years. Here’s the thing. He had suspicious lung nodules in 2024 that were never biopsied but they monitored them the whole time. Now scans show there have multiplied. I mention these because I suspect now that he’s been stage 4 this whole time.

In the last 4 months he has quickly deteriorated. After first line chemo stopped responding at the end of 2025 the next chemos were failures. He’s declining rapidly. Taking morphine and losing 40 pounds in 3 months. Last week he barely ate and vomited afterwords. He hasn’t eaten now in 3 days and is barely drinking. We have young children and I’m trying to prepare them. He just sleeps and gets angry if I try and speak to him. We are estranged but he’s living with me since I promised he could come here in the end. What can I expect? He has a drs appointment on Thursday and I suspect they will discuss end of life care.
