Transfusions due to blood loss via bladder
My 89 year old father has chronic bladder cancer. This last hospitalization, he had 2 cystoscopic procedures to try and cauterize the areas that continue to bleed with no success. He now has a catheter because he continues to clot and it blocks his urine. He has had numerous transfusions and procedures this year. The doctor recommended hospice and comfort care but he will no longer receive transfusions. It is such a hard decision but he has to be hospitalized for transfusions each time. Anyone with a similar situation or suggestions? Any input is appreciated. I don’t know what to do.
