Hi,
I am looking for some advice.
4 weeks ago my dad felt like he was going to faint and he went to hospital. He had a stomach ulcer that burst. When they did scans and tests they found out he had stage 4 lung cancer which has spread to the liver. A week later he was in so much pain it turned out he had a perforated bowel and when they operated they also found a tumor there. They have told us that there is nothing they can do.
This has all happened so quickly. My dad is 57, quite fit and strong.
However now he is struggling to eat, he said everything taste horrible and as a result he has lost a lot of weight and has no energy to do anything. That and the fact he is now needing oxygen when he needs to go up stairs to use the bathroom.
How can I get him to eat? We've tried different foods, smoothies, ensure drinks...he's getting annoyed with everyone asking him to eat all of the time.
Any alternative treatments, natural treatments we can try?
ANY advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
