Hi all, it was last week that I first joined the forum, and told you about my father and his condition. Well he went to the chemo doctor today and he took one look at him and said he was going into the hospital. Its been since friday he has not had any liquids so therefore they are going to put him on an IV.
I just spoke with the doctor and asked about a feeding tube and he said because dad is at the end of his treatments he doesn't think its necessary. Why? From what I understand just because he is done with treatments I thought the side effects would still linger on for a while right? Anyways he is weighting about 123 lbs, now this is a 51 year old man he only weighed 145 to begin with. Although the doc said he would make a decision on Friday after the iv and the medications hes putting him on for the sores in his mouth, he will look at him agian on Friday and possibly do the tube.
Any insight would be appriciated. I worry about my father so much. He is still home right now waiting for them to call when a bed is ready at the hospital.

Thanks For the support

Kelly
