Subject: RE: watching my mom starve to death
Date: 02/06/2008

I am really glad I found this board, I posted something about this in the Nutrition section.  My mom is in stage IV of abnocarcinoma of unknown origin.  She has begun to vomit and is not able to even hold down water most times, so getting nausea medication in her system is very hit or miss.  

She is very alert and is aware that she's not eating and when she can eat, is not eating enough to sustain her and make her strong again.  She gets so angry with me a lot because I've always "fixed" things for her and made things in her life easier and this I can't fix.  I have tried clear liquids, baby food, bland foods, you name it and it all comes back up.  She's been in and out of the hospital so many times that she's refusing to go back but she's refusing to give in as well.  I don't know where to go with all of this because I feel as if I'm watching her starve to death and the harder part is watching her KNOW it..........ty both for sharing your stories.
