Hello,
<>Sorry about your dad. My mom is 75 and has stage 4
nsclc. When she lost her appetite, her oncologist prescribed
Megace - an appetite stimulant. It really did help. She
also has a feeding tube, which has done wonders. She was a small
lady to begin with - only 5'3" and 118 lbs, and she went down to 92
lbs. With the combination of the megace and feeding tube, she is
at 124 lbs and doing great. My mom's oncologist didn't have a lot
of hope when she was diagnosed in Oct 2006 - because of her weight and
age. She's proven to him that age is state of mind, and that
you're never too old to fight! I wish you and your family the
best.
