My uncle was diagnosed with advanced stage stomach cancer 2 months ago. In the last 6 weeks, he has lost tremendous amount of weight, in serious pain, cancer spread to bile duct causing jaundice and also lymph nodes. He needs blood transfusion every few days because he is loosing blood every day while vomitting and in stools.
Doctors are recommending surgery to bypass the blockage so food can go in and pain can be reduced. Other doctors recommending radiation to stop the bleeding. We are not sure what procedure to go with.
Another complication came in today, stomach fluid. His abdomen is slightly swollen and doctor wants to see an MRI tomorrow.
Question : Anyone with similar problems can share their
experience?
What complications arise from stomach fluid?
What is the best option given all these complications to keep him comfortable?
Doctors already said he has limited time ( 1 month) but I would like that 1 month to be 1 quality 1 month.
Thanks,
