Thank you for telling me about your experience. I am working on getting him to manage the pain with oxycodone, but he wants to be alert for the portions of the day he could spend with the kids (we have a 12 year old, a 10 year old, and a 7 year old). He has his second chemo treatment today, and the PEG inserted tomorrow. I am hoping this will slow down his weight loss--I think some of his nausea is because of dehydration and low blood sugar, so hopefully the PEG will help.
I'm glad to hear that memory loss is something others have experienced. I was beginning to worry about a spread to the brain. I'll stop worrying about that for now...
