My father approx 1.5 years ago dx with stage 4 colon cancer with mets to liver and bladder. He had colon resection and bladder tumor resected. He tried chemo therapy on the liver mets without success. He weighed 133 lbs when resection done and through lots of ensure and pushing from my mother his wt increased to 154 lbs over the 1.5 years. I know that his cancer has most likely metastized all over the place. He actually got along great up until a month ago. He now has tried megace without it helping. He has decreased to 143 lbs now and although he is content with letting the cancer end his life I do not wanting him to waste away. Has anyone had a family member or used themselves Marinol to increase appetite and has it worked?
Thanks
Don
