[MOL] end stage renal cancer/home care



My father is given 2 to 6 months to live after  falling and breaking his hip. 
 Cancer from his kidney has spread to bones and lungs.  He is coming home 
this week totaly
bed ridden.  We have hospice to help but its  My mother and I who will be the 
main care givers.  My question to anyone out there is,  what can we expect 
over the next few months ?   How fast will he go down hill?  Are we taking on 
too much to care for him at home with this diagnosis?  Doctors/Nurses  say 
alot without saying much.
Any response is much appreciated.

Aimee
