It is important that he eats something, even if it is all liquids. It is important to intake plenty of liquids anyway. Nausea can be caused by many things so don't jump to any definite conclusions. Don

Question about radiation treatment and not eating
Don Wood replied to luvdogs's topic in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER
If your BIL has brain mets, he is stage IV, which is not good. But it is treatable and people have survived -- many are here on this website. Your BIL must eat, even if it is all liquid, such as Ensure, Breeze, Smoothies, soft ice cream, etc. He needs liquids to keep from being dehydrated, as Fay said. Also, I agree the pain should be controlled, and if he is not getting the care from this doctor he wants, he needs to check with a second doctor. Don -
What can I expect in the months to come?
Don Wood replied to KissMeKate's topic in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
Hi! Since your grandmother has metastatic cancer (spread to other parts of the body) and is not going to undergo any treatment to halt it, I think it would be unrealistic to expect her to live until your wedding six months from now or be able to participate if she is still around. Without treatment, the main focus would be to control pain and make her comfortable. Sorry you have to go through this. Don -
Enjoy!

Great news, Cindy. So happy for you. Don

Prayers continue.

Cindi, so sorry things are complicated for you. When I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer, I had a biopsy to be sure. I chose radiation therapy. When it recurred (according to PSA), I asked the doc about biopsy and he said the same thing your doc did -- it may or may not show cancer, and if it did not, he would still recommend treatment. I went with no biopsy and radioactive seeds treatment. Been fine ever since. Best to you. Don

None of the chemo Lucie has had has been "easy" -- some just less bad than others. But then again, they worked. Wishing the same for you, TAnn. Don
