Welcome Caregiver, its good to see another Seattlite on the forums! Where I live in and am from Idaho, I lived in Seattle for 13 years and my wife is from there. I had all of my surgeries and my tumor board done at the UWMC.

I agree with Brian about the gravity feeding, it is less of a shock to the system. As far as nausea goes, WA has medical marijuana and I suggest talking to his drs about a script for it. No matter what the preconceived notions or bias the drug has associated with it, it is effective. It will help with pain, moods, sense of well-being, very effective w nausea and will make him hungry . Just don't smoke it, vaporizing it or using it in food (made into butter, melted and mixed in liquid nutrition).

Keep your chin up and good luck.

Eric
