My dad was recently diagnosed with small cell carsinoma in the liver. Doctors at first believed the cancer was coming from the lungs or colon. Xrays were done and both tests indicated no cancer in the lungs, colon or stomach. The doctors kept referring to my dad as a Atypical patient because the cancer started in the liver. He just started chemo last week and now I'm having a hard time making him eat because he has a hard time keeping food down. Because the tumor is large (10cm), its is affecting his digestive tract and he has heartburn, indigestion and nausea. I dont know how to ensure that he eats enough everyday. Any suggestions?
I would try and get him mashed potatoes and boost or ensures. That's about how my dad is with the wafting. My dad has heptocellular carsinoma. That is what my dad has been wafting for a few weeks now. Just make sure he has some boost or ensure this way he gets some of the nutrition he needs to fight anything he may catch. Keep me posted please!
