    Talked to the oncologist. He’s still constipated even though he had three Colace pills an enema and a powdered drink laxative. They gonna try Reglan and hoping that helps. They may get a gastronologist to check on his condition. I’m also notice his swallowing is a little difficult when he takes his meds. He coughs like he’s trying to choke. He’s sleeping more. Doses off unexpectedly. What should I expect next? Can anyone relate? Everyone s differentwith this. I know there’s a time where God’s gonna take him. This is a monster!! I hate this..I absolutely hate this!!!

    Teresa…this is what I have learned: what you are describing is not that unusual for this disease. Possible there is an obstruction or, the stomach is not able to contract and can’t move anything including, mucus. You made a wise decision, Teresa; Dennis needs to be tended to in a hospital. I am thinking of you and sending tons of good wishes your way.
    Hugs,

    Sorry, Theresa can’t help other than to say you did just the right thing! Please keep us advised of Dennis. Be strong!

    Dennis was admitted for vomiting nausea constipation and pain. He has meds but the vomiting was so bad that I had to bring him in. He was vomiting mucus and green bile. Can anyone relate to the color?? Thanks for being there..
