my dad diagnosed with rectal cancer for a month now, stage III. he will undergo radiation and chem next Monday, then surgery later. Yesterday my dad bleed 9-10 times. i almost take him to emergency for transfusion. i have a lot of questions that need your guidance. i know bleeding is part of the cancer? but how much bleeding need to be concerned. will it stop for a period of time then bleed again? if blood count low, is it o.k. to do radiation and take Xeloda? can i use aluminia chloride or feric chloride solution to stop the bleeding? please advice.
