Will He Slip Into Coma Due To Colon Cancer 4th Stage?
My friend is at home with hospice stage 4 colon cancer. His intestines have shut down and he is losing weight fast. He cannot eat or drink anymore and it has been about 2 weeks since he did eat or drink anything. Tonight he has internal bleeding. We are concerned he may slip in a coma. What do you think?

Hello,
I have gone through the description you have provided.
It is likely that his condition will continue to deteriorate and he might land up in coma because of bleeding and failure of other organs.
Regards
Dr Dr Samir Patil
