Hi there. My dad was diagnosed with brain cancer in November 2013, after having a grand mal seisure in June 2013 with no prior symptoms. He's hasn't been able to communicate or really do much of anything in recent months, and his current prognosis is for weeks to maybe a month.
Can you tell me how cognisant you were during these times when you lacked communicative skills? I always give my dad the benefit of the doubt that he knows what's going on, but his body (by way of the brain) is betraying him and preventing him from expressing anything. He makes eye contact, and will smile when we make inside jokes, but still I wonder. Also, were you in any discomfort or pain during those times?
Thanks for doing this, I'm glad you're doing well and wish you all the best.
