pretty long but PLEASE READ

My grandpa has terminal lung cancer (one lung is completly full) and they think its spread to his spine (although he doesnt think he has cancer at all.) He had Hospice for about a month but he decided he didnt want them because "he doesnt have cancer". Today we picked out his urn, and got hospice to come back to keep him comfortable. what i want to know is how long would you think he has to live, today is my birthday and it would break my heart for him to pass today.  i know you guys cant say exactl how long please dont say "no one can tell"..... his breathing has slowed and they think he is going to slipinto a coma soon... so if any of you have had experi9ence in this please tell me.

It is very difficult for you.  You don't want him to die, but the waiting is so hard.  Take a deep breath, open up the photo albums and remember the good times.  When his breating has slowed to 6 -8 breaths per minute the time is coming.  Look at his hands and feet, they will start to discolor and turn bluish grey.  The discoloration may go up the arms and legs a little bit. Then the time will be soon after that.  I am so sorry for your pain. It's hard to do what you are doing. You and hold his hand and whisper to him you are there and it's ok for him to let go.  My prayers are with you.
