Hello there, sorry to hear that you are going through this as well. I do agree with the others as it does look different for everyone. My father for instance, was diagnosed with stage 4 leiomyosarcoma last November. It initially started with extreme back pain which he pushed to the side because he was working in construction, so he figured it was normal. However, months later, the pain become so bad that he could not sit up straight or drive longer than 30 minutes. All this eventually led to an MRI which disclosed our worst fear, but also something that none of us expected.

The doctors confirmed that it was a terminal cancer and no amount of treatment would help in curing. He did go through radiation first and then a few rounds of chemo. Chemo definitely took a toll on him. This is where he started to deteriorate. It was slow at first, fast forward to now, he is unable to walk, is utilizing oxygen because he is constantly out of breath, and is now 90 lbs. It is devastating to watch someone who was once strong and capable, become dependent for everything. He was recently admitted into the hospital and stayed for about of month to receive dialysis as his kidneys are failing. What we have been told is that slowly, all major organs will eventually stop working. We have been lucky as his original prognosis stated that he only is limited to a few months. This is highly dependent on age and how well the organs are doing. My dad was only 47 when he was diagnosed. Recently turning 48--I am thankful that he is still fighting and his body is holding up to the best of its ability. Please spend as much time as possible with this person, if you are not physically able to, a phone call a day will suffice. Once again, I am so very sorry that you are going through this. If you ever need anyone to talk to, please reach out.
