My dad has stage 4 prostrate cancer which was diagnosed two years ago. He recovered from a perforated bowel but because of this diagnosis wasn’t given radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
He is now struggling to keep food down. A small meal causes pain and makes him violently sick. He is also fatigued after eating.
on he days he doesn’t eat as much he has a cracker and half a piece of toast with tea/coffee during the day.
im afraid to suggest to him that he has another cancer….
he thinks the PSA tests show he is doing ok . But I know this only relates to the prostate cancer. What should I suggest he does in a more proactive way without frightening him?
The paramedic did call yesterday and said he would pass notes on to his dr but everything seems to be at a snail pace.
any advice?
many thanks,
concerned daughter.
