Thanks. The oncologist and the PA said his CT scan was stable with some minor improvement. He felt that Ken was suffering the effects of the chemo and that in 2 weeks he should start feeling much better. He does not want to put in a feeding tube yet. He is afraid of infection and does not think Ken can take another procedure. So they switched his appetite stimulant to Marisol and want him to start the antidepressant. They think that understandably so he is depressed or apathetic and therefore not eating. I am just praying Ken will start to eat soon. I went and carried out his favorite hamburger and he ate 2 nibbles and 2 fries. He will get hydration 2 times a week and we meet back with the oncologist in 2 weeks. I know Ken will not do anymore chemo so I am praying he can gain some strength and remain stable for a long time. I can't believe how exhausting it is to try and get some one to eat and drink that doesn't want to. Thanks for sticking by us! |
