I’m sorry for your situation. Please ask your husband’s doctor for an explanation of what you can expect his future to look like and when hospice services may be helpful

I’m very sorry. Can you take FMLA leave from work?

Ask his urologist what the hell is going on? That is who knows the "Time Frame."

How can he have Stage 5 kidney failure and NOT be on dialysis? He must have refused it. Being 65 is still pretty young. But dialysis is a horrible experience, so I can see someone refusing it.

Of course your heart is broken, and I'm sorry to tell you it will likely be worse before it gets better. I had to watch my husband die from Stage 4 liver cancer, it was brutal. I've been single 24 years since. I had to work at that time too, before the FMLA was passed.

I wish you the strength to get through this.

This might be a better question for your husbands doctor and or hospice as it may very well be time to bring them on board.
I'm sorry that you're having to go through this with your husband who in reality is far too young to be in such bad shape.
