Stages of death
Common Questions and Answers about Stages of death
death
I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.
Stage 1 is considered a small amount of fibrosis. Stages 2 and 3 is considered a greater amount of fibrosis or scarring meaning the disease has progressed. The more fibrosis the harder it is on the liver to carry out it's functions. As the damage progresses further, many scars can form together, which can lead to stage 4, or cirrhosis.
I am so very sorry about your little dog's passing.
I obviously can't tell you what the cause of his death was. Only a necropsy (autopsy) could determine that.
I am making an educated guess however, as when you said he had belly contractions, this reminded me of my own dear dog who passed from hemangiosarcoma. She had a massive internal bleed in her last few hours, and kept contracting her belly muscles. I know this was an instinct to try to get something out of her insides.
Usually the woman in late stages of labor becomes acutely dyspneic with hypotension , experience seizures followed by cardiac arrest, massive DIC associated hemorrhage follows this and ends in death of the parturient. Death is mostly within an hour of onset. You can check related data in the books or the internet. Take care.
I think there are different stages of addiction..the early stages which are most easily broken and then the last stages where one has to do or die.
Actually as i type I realize that one always has to do or die because if one does not stop in the early stages it can progress to a much more difficult time and a more difficult recovery.
My father is in the final stages of dementia. He can no longer hold anything or walk. He quit speaking about 4 years ago. I just was recently told that he no longer chews. This has been for about 6 weeks. His food is thickened so he can swallow it. He has lost about 20 pounds in 5 months. His albumin level is 2.7, and 2.5 is sometimes the criteria for hospice care. My question is, how much longer before he loses his ability to swallow?
I am going to have a fibroscan in a couple of weeks and i am expecting to have advanced liver fibrosis and ciarrhosis
(not sure if thats spelt right)! I have heard of ciarrhosis measured in terms of 'stages', can anyone give me any infomation on what the stages mean so that i can be a little prepared for my appointment?
Please keep in mind that this varies according to the location of the metastisis. I personally know of survivors of many years with mets to the bone. It would also depend on your Mother's general health and what treatment will be prescribed. Another point is that all the lumps you describe in your Mother's breasts may not be cancerous; it would only take one malignant lump to cause the metastisis. Kindest regards ....
Even if you are found to have cancer there are different types of cancer and stages or grades of cancer. A lot of your outcome will depend on the size of the tumor, whether the tumor cells are well differentiated meaning they are slow growing and almost complete in structure or poorly differentiated meaning they are not well organized and grow faster, whether you have positive lymph nodes, perineural invasion, etc. See a surgeon, have a biopsy, and wait for the pathology.
