He had never been sick a day in his life. It's so hard to watch someone you love so much suffer. Does your dad have a PEG tube? Staying hydrated and nourished is part of the treatment plan. Some days when John was doing treatments it felt like it was an all day event just trying to get liquids and nourishment in him. We do understand what you are going through. Best wishes. Wanda
