please remember that all stage 4 patients don't die immediately. Incurable malignancy decrease appetite but loss of appetite can also be due to other factors like depression. Please do not anticipate terminal stage events. nobody can predict death and one needs to live comfortably till the end of life. please let him live comfortably and give him food in small quantities in periodic intervals
