Sadly he is still alive with no quality of life at all. I pray hourly that God would call him home now. I will keep you and your man in my prayers. Hugs Terese.

He only has a few weeks left to live, and his doctor is going to reduce his dex to make the process a bit smoother. Has anyone had any side effects from reducing dex? He's looking at going fom 4mg to 2mg.

My husband passed away yesterday morning (22/2/13). I was with him when he took his last breath and he is at peace now.
