He is 110 lbs and has no more weight to lose. He has a stomach tube. Does anyone have any recommendations for building this guy back up? He has Ensure. He isn’t supposed to drink by mouth. He is losing so much weight that he’ll have a heart attack before the treatments are done. And after they are done, he won’t be able to eat for 2-3 more months.
Yes, he goes for radiation treatments every day. They see him. Unfortunately, he has no insurance, so they would just as soon he goes home and dies. He has a tumor in his throat, that is curable, but not if he can’t survive the treatments. And he can’t survive the treatments if he gets any thinner. He’s able to eat some things by mouth, and has some green stuff for the feeding tube. He throws it up.
NOT making this up. He is our friend. We have ended up responsible somehow. There is no one else sticking around to help us deal with it. Thanks for all the input you can give, Oh BTW, he’s in the hospital now, as of Friday.
I had a grade 3 astrocytoma brain tumor and underwent a seven hour craniotomy with motor mapping at UCSF. I had external beam radiation and six rounds of BCNU chemotherapy treatments, via an IV. Rounds1-3 were not that bad. Rounds 4-6 were horrible. I puked, dry heaved nothing but spit and air, slept a lot, ate nothing that i could keep in my stomach for more than an hour or so. Even when i drank water after an infusion, I would puke it up. My teeth looked like hell and i got sores on the edges and insides of my mouth.
But I survived it and am six years cancer free.
I understand the nausea/vomiting/weakness/upset stomach.
But now that I am cancer free, I seriously thank my boyfriend and mom for force-feeding me every day even when I was sick to my stomach. I may have had to run to the bathroom before, during and after a meal on some days. The few times I did have an appetite, I would binge on every fattening thing I could find while I had that moment of hunger.
I am totally shocked at the number of cancer patients I meet who say they are just too sick to eat, too nauseous, too weak…next thing you know they are walking skeletons.
I lost 25 lbs myself and I wasn’t fat to begin with. I have managed to stay within a healthy BMI before, during and after my treatment. I think forcing myself to eat no matter how bad I felt was the best thing I did in fighting the cancer.
Don’t people realize that of course chemo and radiation are going to make you sick and not want to eat, but if you don’t, you’re just going to get sick and weak? Isn’t the will to live enough to eat despite the nausea and sickness?
I agree that food is the last thing on your mind, but knowing that you need it to live and be strong, doesn’t that motivate others to eat even if they don’t feel like it? I mean we do all kinds of things we don’t feel like doing, and this means life or death. I just don’t get how some people literally turn into walking skeletons because they feel too sick to eat. And they won’t force themselves. I can’t believe it’s worth their life, not to eat.
I get what you are saying April..and I am taking things day by day but thankful that my scan came back clear and I am showing no signs of the cancer in any way. I hope it stays that way but I am aggressive with my follow up. I know anything can happen but I am happy to not have cancer, today.
