My brother is 37 years old and was just diagnosed with stomach cancer. The surgeon was going to completely remove his stomach, but when he opened him up, the surgeon reported that he saw cancerous tumors on his pancreas and throughout is abdominal area. I am so new to all this and I want to be able to offer my brother any assistance I can. The oncologist is waiting for the healing to be completed before he begans chemotherapy. At this point, I do not know what or where to turn. Right now, he remains in the hospital where he has been for the past 10 days and they are feeding him through IV directly into his intestines. It is an extremely slow process and he is in my opinion, starving to death. Any help and direction any of you can provide would be extremely appreciated.
