My husband had a tumor the size of a lime and two small lymph nodes on both sides were affected; stage 4a. I am told his treatment is quite aggressive. His eight week treatment includes radiation every day and three treatments of cisplatin. Unfortunately, this is a living h--l for him. We have tried every med under the sun for nausea and none are working. We are using a pump for tube feeding to allow the formula to go in slower and in smaller amounts. As of today, he still can't tolerate any nourishment. The home health nurse said it might be due to constipation for three or more days, and the formula is not being absorbed so it is coming back up. Not a pleasant subject, but does anyone have an opinion on this? He will soon be hospitalized if this continues.
Thank you!!
