How about asking the doctor for pain patches, fentanyl. I used them and they worked great, only change them every 72 hours so you dont need to be constantly trying to remember to give your father pain meds which wear off.

Your poor dad is having a rough time of it already, Im so sorry to hear that. I have a couple tricks with the liquid feedings.

If he doesnt have a pump, ask for one. The doctors can arrange that for him. A pump to start should be set very low like around 40ml per hour, after he tolerates that for a couple times then bump it up to 50 then 60 etc. It could take a few weeks to get it at a faster pace but it will ease the nasuea. This can be done while sleeping, which is how I used my pump. Just make sure he is propped up by at least 2 pillows to sleep. By doing this, it will be much slower and easier to tolerate for his stomach.

Also add about 1/2- 3/4 can of water to the formula when you feed him. With using the pump he will get feeding bags. I used 3 cans formlua and then about 2 more cans of water for overnight. If doing it that way, he will still need another 2 cans daily. Those two things will make the world of difference in how he feels and if he is sick. Slower feedings and water down the formula, it will work. Once he is able to keep this down, he will feel better.

Does your father have thrush? If so then the doctors need to give him meds for that too. It sure isnt easy going thru treatments and I feel very bad for your father right now. This can be done, please tell him about all the encouragement you get from here. It will help him to see he isnt alone, many have been down this road before and will help guide you both.
