Hi my dad has been in hospital for the last six weeks.   He had bowel cancer  two years ago which was removed.  The chemotherapy and medication resulted him having liver psorosis.  He now has encapolothophy in a very bad way.  He has very few lucid moments and then does strange things like washing his hands whilst his eyes are shut.  He is refusing medication, food and generally gets very aggressive. Please tell me how long he will suffer like this.  He has been refused a liver transplant as he has also being a heart patient and is 70 years old.  Please help.
