Trying to manage my father with stage 4 metastatic Pancreatic cancer
My father is struggling. He is on IV Chemo and Pill (Xeloda). He is basically getting sick every time he takes a pill, any pill. He has a grandchild due in Oct and he is fighting to make that. We are only a couple weeks into treatment and it has been very rough. We are crushing every pill we can and trying to give the others with yogurt or something but nothing seems to work. He's getting IV bags twice a week now and we are looking into a feeding tube. He wants to eat but the second he swallows his body rejects it.
Anyone ,have any tips or tricks.
and for the record. I HATE CANCER
Thanks,
AS

Zofran gave him terrible headaches. He's on Compazine and Phenergan
Thank you for letting us know. The team is watching out for him, so if you are not close to the hospital keep them posted. I hope someone posts about your question. I am just happy to hear the Tube is giving him the nutrition his body needs. Hang tough!
