Todd finished his chemo on 3/27, rad on 4/27. Been in and out of hospital with dehydration, weakness and recently he blacked out hitting his head on the baseboard corner requiring 8 interior stiches and 8 staples. He will only take 2 cans of Jevity a day (474 cal) and 1000 cc through the G tube. He is 6'2" and started at 232lbs - lost 53 lbs to date. He is in bed 24/7, very neausous, weak and pale. The OC can't explain why he is not getting beter. The primary care Dr ran tests in the hospital and everything was normal. I am very scared and don't know where to turn. I think if he gets more nutrition he will start to heal but he is afraid to eat, even thru the G tube, because of being sick to his stomach. The good news is that the cancer seems to have disapated and will be confirmed at the CT scan on June 5th. Could this lead to anorexia? PLEASE HELP!!
