My Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about 11 months ago. My Dad just passed away October 20 from prostate cancer that had metastisized to the bone and elsewhere. It was a blessing he went so quickly at the end. My mother, during his final stages, became stronger and more supportive physcially, emotionally, and mentally than I ever thought possible. Now, with his passing, she has taken an immediate turn for the worse. I know she is in the final stages of her disease, with metastisis to the lungs. After his death, her doctor took her off of an experimental drug called Tarceva. The Tarceva has a plethora of potential side effects, and I think she had them all! Diarrhea was the worst (with sores in the mouth, no appetite, and skin rashes right behind). The diarrhea has never subsided. They started her on Iv's three days ago, and after three days stopped that, as the diarrhea was not under control. I would be interested to know if anyone has any ideas about stopping the diarrhea....I'll tell you, I think she would take a new attitude if she could only get that under control. We have tried the Immodiium and the Kaopectate. Neither had any lasting effect, but the combination staved the diarrhea for a few hours. I think she would try just about any suggested remedies. Any ideas?
