My Father-in-law was diagnosed with esophageal and gastric cancer approximately eleven months ago. He is going through his second round of chemotherapy as I am posting this. It has been a rough road as I know everyone reading this has experienced. I am not sure if it is fair to say that anything positive can come out of an experience like this however my wife and father in law have gotten closer. I am hoping to gain a few things from this site.
One issue he struggled with was his feeding tube. I wanted to see if other people had unpleasant experiences with feeding tubes and what the problems were. My father in law's tube fell out three times in a 3 month period. He has maintained an active lifestyle which was difficult with the tube. He enjoys golfing, working in the yard, and exercising but found it difficult. I firmly believe he is staying in good spirits because he has remianed active and refuses to stop living.
Look forward to hearing comments.
