Thank you for your suggestions and support. My mother in law wants to take him to Tijuana to a clinic in which they use the hoxsey method. I had never heard of this before but started researching and found that it is an alternative method of treating cancer with natural herbs. She says this is the last thing that they will try. He has been in the hospital since Wednesday night. The oncologist at Stanford did blood test and found that his sodium level was really low. in the last few weeks he sleeps very minimally, 3 to 5 minutes in a row then wakes up for a long time. He is disoriented most of the time. he talks about his job like if he is at work or about situations that are not happening at the moment. He has been throwing up constantly for the past week and has not had a bowel movement. The only good news about all of this is that his pain has gone away for the most part. He only had mild discomfort and occasional pain. I have read in other posts that this may be a sign that his organs are shutting down, but if that’s true, at least he is not suffering.
We all feel helpless, sad, and angry because we cannot do anything but pray for him and keep him company.
Thank you again for responding to my post. This has been the only site I’ve found that truly understands about this cancer and the effects it has on patients and family.
