HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Sorry to hear that, it is not, always the thing is like that only, we cant say that cancer patient always dies because of it, one can live up to the normal span of life with the disease, I would advise you to give him lot of moral support, try to spend more time with him, listen him carefully whatever he says no matter in what way he does it, good nursing care is the best medicine on this stage, it may some time bring very surprising result, take care of your father, I would be happy to answer your further query, have good day.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what your father is going through right now. I feel your pain and it is totally normal to feel this way.
Death is inevitable but no one wants to watch loved one die. it is a difficult for everybody and it would be difficult for you too. Take the time right now and show him how much he means to you. Let hi feel your love, add more memories to his days and make him feel loved and cared for all the time.
Please, talk with his doctor and let them adjust his pain medications to enable him lead a pain free life. Though dying comfort must be guaranteed irrespective of what it takes. I hope you find the strength to go through this and stay strong.
I hope this helps and I wish you well.
