hi my dad was diagnosed with gastric cancer - had the surgery to remove it and it went sucsesful - they have caught it all - it has not travled - confirmed by the pathologist - he was eating some amounts a few days after surgery and then was discharged. hes struggling to eat anything and wis hardly eating anything, mostly liquids.
he still feels sick when eating anything - hes having cups of bovril - cant handle milk the now - not cos he is bringing anything up but he just cant stomach it -
has anyone else been in this situation ? i am really concerned that hes not getting enough - his fluids are good tho - hes drinking as much as he can take. and eating sweets. were going to try him on custard and tapioca
The drs said they are not worried but i am just concend as hes just been through a major op and hes doing ok .
Has anyone else been through this ? is this normal ? he cant go the shakes that they have given him
any suggestions or that ?
thanks very much in advance .
