Well the old man's being kept in for a couple of days at least. They don't think it's an infection but it could be anyone of a number of things not necessarily with his cancer. He's got a catheter and is being well and truly flushed through, plus having a blood transfusion as he's anaemic. The doctors have asked whether, given his ongoing situation, he wants them to bother doing lots of quite unpleasant tests or just treat/ameliorate his symptoms and see how it goes. I feel he'll opt for the latter option.
