the oncologist nutritionist told him to use the drip. the hospital told him they don't do drip and told him not to so he won't do it. the hospital and oncologist are of the same hospital system.

He just keeps asking how to get well but won't listen to anyone because he thinks he can do it his way and beat the system. It is how he is made up unfortunately and refuses to change even though he is messing around with his own life now.

thank you Kristen..I just need to know what's normal as this is my first experience of dealing with cancer/feeding tubes.

A friend took him for a long drive...such a break for me! I gave him 2.5 more boxes of food but because I have more syringes to fill at one time, he argued that I'm going to make him throw up. Heavens. Same amount as always but extra syringes messed up his thinking. I'm resigned to doing this as he can't seem to function on his own. I'm gone all day tomorrow though.
