Thank you Isadora 2021 for you insightful recommendations. My brother has been given medication for the diarrhea but he doesn't like to take it because it clogs him up worse. He finally gets relief and feels back to normal once he has several "blowouts" to be perfectly descriptive. But, the constipation and cramping before he gets to that point is the most painful. I too was hoping he would not get the neuropathy. My older 1/2 sister recently went through treatment for rectal cancer and she had to stop the chemo because the neuropathy in her feet was unbearable and unfortunately, 2 years later she still has it, although not as bad. I do worry that he isn't eating enough as yesterday and the day before he couldn't hold anything down. I keep trying to talk him into letting me get the traveling IV Med people to come and give him an IV of electrolytes on these bad days but he said his oncologist told him not to waste his money as he could drive to the center and get one. Maybe what she wasn't considering was that he wouldn't feel well enough to drive there, even though it is a short drive. I am going to keep on him to do that. He has a lovely wife so I have to be careful and not become too intrusive but I really believe it would help him. And, I love that you mentioned Belong. I am on there - I am Rita@1255. I just love Werner 14! The people on there are just amazing. I take screenshots of positive remedies and things they say and send to him - especially the funny sayings as laughter is also a great medicine. So happy to see the letters NED - thank you for this support.
