A relative, 58 year old male, has melanoma. It has spread to his brain, lungs, and bones. He has been told there is nothing more that can be done. His left side has become paralyzed. He can talk some---pieces of infomation put together in wrong order, seems confused at times, and athough he calls relatives by name, he looks at us like he's trying to figure something out but doesn't make the connection. We are told "things will go fast" but really don't know if that means he has weeks or months to live. Can you shed some light?
