When the mesothelioma victim begins to show signs of imminent death, it is the time to for the relatives and friends to come around to say final goodbyes to their loved one. One after the other, the family members and friends might spend time with the patient, holding hands, talking to the patient, or just sitting quietly by the patient.
It can also be a time to perform any religious rituals and other activities the patient desires before he/she passes on. It is a chance for many families and friends to express their love and appreciation for the patient and for each other.
This also the time to plan for what to do after the death of the patient, so that the family will not be confused about what to during this very emotional time. If the patient is in hospice, the hospice nurse and social worker will help you. If the patient is not in hospice, talk with your doctor about it so that you will know what to do at the time of death.
These are some of the symptoms that will be seen in a dying mesothelioma cancer patient:
1- Changes in body function
?profound weakness,usually the patient cannot get out of bed and has trouble moving around in bed
?needs help with nearly everything he or she does. May be unable to change positions without help
?less and less interest in food, often with very little food and fluid intake for days
?trouble swallowing pills and medicines
?more drowsiness–the patient may doze or sleep much of the time if pain is relieved. May be restless and pick or pull at bed linens. May be hard to rouse or wake. Anxiety, fear, restlessness, and loneliness may worsen at night
?cannot concentrate, has short attention span
?confused about time, place, or people
?limited ability to cooperate with caregivers
?involuntary movement of any muscle, jerking of hands, arms, legs, or face
