Headache and high fever with last stage of liver cancer, this is about to end?
My brother is in the final stages of liver cancer. He has a significant weight loss and is very jaundiced. The whites of the eyes are yellow. The last few days he has a high fever was 103-104 and in poor heaches. I wonder if this is near the end. If you have any information could you tell me please. Thank you.
It depends on what is causing that fever and if they can get it under control. I am guessing that it is probably near the end because infection is often what will cause the death at the end. A person is just too weak to fight off the infection. Since his temp is so high, this is probably what is happening. You don’t give a lot of details, so I’m just going by what you are telling me. Since he is so jaundiced, the weight loss, the high fever, and knowing he has end stage cancer, I doubt if he will be able to live much longer. My heart goes out to you and your family.
