Help me understand

My dad was diagnosed in March 2020 with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and travelled to liver ... He has done pretty well had a stent fitted back in May which then became blocked end of September and they fitted another stent 2 weeks ago. He has become a lot weaker since returning home from hospital and spends most of his days in bed which I accept and he's quite comfortable however my question is about sickness episodes where he can be fine one minute then the next it's like he's completely out of it and doesn't know where he is and vomiting and just lifeless then the next day he's able communicate has anyone experienced this or help me understand  what is causing this ... I just don't know ! 

 

  • Hello Savanna97, 

    I am sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis. It must be hard to watch your dad spending his days in bed in hospital, seeing him getting weaker and witnessing these sickness episodes. I think it would be a good idea to give his doctor a call and explaining in detail what happens during these sickness episodes. Hopefully this is something your GP will have encountered before and he or she will be able to advise you further on what to do and what may be causing this. 

    I also hope that you will hear from others here who have experienced this before and that they will come and share their experience with you. I hope this sickness issue gets sorted very soon.

    Best wishes,
