I thank all who have responded I really appreciate it as also my dad. As I stated we are living in the Caribbean Healthcare is not the best.
Another follow up question.
He finds it hard to digest like chicken and other things. Can anyone guide as to what are preferable food to eat and digestible. He also is not losing much weight but it very thin. Is there anything that can help to increase his weight???? Thank you all again. Love you all

Protein is very important. Eggs, black beans, fish, yogurt are all options if chicken and Turkey do not digest well. Mashed potato’s, sweet potatos mashed and soft carrots would be helpful too. Small meals several times each day will be easier to digest. Raw vegetables or any thing with skins will be harder to digest. If his constipation persists, Miralax each day will help. Some nausea medicines do cause constipation so while using them drink plenty of water! There is a great virtual seminar on the 16th by a dietician focused on pancreatic cancer. I will try and share the link tomorrow
