My very healthy father suddenly had trouble reading words and was slurring his speech. He drove himself to the E.R. We were suprised to hear that he had probably had a stroke. Two days later we were wishing it was a stroke. He was told he had a glioblastoma very large and to make matters worse it is located in his speech center. He was in the E.R. on 4/29/06 and had brain surgery a week later. They were able to remove only 40% due to the location. He has undergone 40 days chemo and six weeks radiation. He has been in the hospital numerous times now. Mostly due to brain swelling and steroid toxicity. Very difficult to keep his levels under control. He has now been in the hospital for two weeks. His radiation and chemo are complete. We have been praying for some remission but he just can't seem to eat or take hardly anything by mouth. He is in for severe dehydration and now has a N.G. TUBE. It is all we can do to get his daily meds into him with applesauce. He is also on a thick liquids diet. does anyone have any suggestions? NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY HE'S NOT EATING . He has lost so much weight and in two months is now skin and bones. It is hard for him to express whats going on due to the speech center being affected. Has anyone dealt with a similar problem?
