Life Expectancy for 82 year old without dialysis
My grandad has stage 5 kidney failure. He has decided to not go ahead of dialysis due to his age and quality of life, which we really respect, therefore will be in palliative care. I live in Australia, and he lives in Malaysia, and i am due to visit in about 7 weeks. I understand that life expectancy varies at this stage, but I am trying to decide if waiting 7 weeks is a good idea, or if i should go sooner, as there are work and financial constraints. Any input would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
