@jlharsh my husband went to the gastroenterologist specialist doctor a few times and he also had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and they said that there's nothing they can do for him anymore and did not make any more appointments for him. He's rapidly losing weight, can't sleep, is eating very little to nothing and it's even painful to drink liquids, when he was 20 years old he was in a moped accident and the handlebars crushed his chest in and he has a tumor and the center of his chest and a fatty tumor on the side of his chest. I think this was the start of splenic Flexure syndrome and for some reason and the last 8 months has gotten tremendously worse.

Hi @garyann2554. Thank you for sharing more of your husband’s story. I’m so sorry to hear how much he has been through, and I can understand why you’re concerned. It sounds like things have become much more difficult over the last several months.
Hearing that he is rapidly losing weight, eating very little, and now even finding it painful to drink liquids sounds incredibly difficult. Those are significant things that need addressed.
What would be the most helpful for you right now? Are you hoping to connect with others who have had similar experiences, or are you looking for ideas about what steps to take next? And when the gastroenterologist said there wasn’t anything more they could do, did they explain what they thought was causing his symptoms or recommend another specialist? Has his primary care provider or another member of his healthcare team been made aware of how bad his symptoms are?
