Nelie,

Thank you for replying. Since the end of the treatments weight loss has been gradual and about 4-6 pounds per month as in your case. Like I indicated in my reply to Brian nutrition has been a real struggle because of the vomiting and the reluctance to eating.

Still using morphine and the patch but have also tried other painkillers which have been stopped cold turkey because of side effects and possibly this could explain the cold sweats.

I agree with you on the fact that it "stinks" that the recovery takes sooo low and it has been discouraging because indeed my family member is recovering at a snail's pace.

As in my reply to Brian, we can certainly seek a second opinion as there are other CCC in area that we can go to.
