Hello,

My 81 year old mother was diagnosed with aggressive Klatskin Cholangiocarcinoma in March 2019. Prior to diagnosis, she was a very active with no other health issues. She did need to have stents placed for a bilirubin of 32 which is now down to 0.5. Not a surgical candidate; only offered systemic chemotherapy with Gemzar.

She is now weak, sleeping 12-16 hours per day, no appetite with constant nausea and spontaneous vomiting despite medications.

Can anyone offer advise on foods that may help increase her appetite.

Also, is this normal with such a low dose of chemotherapy or is it disease progression?  Thank you.
