Guest guest Posted December 31, 1997 Report Share Posted December 31, 1997 My father was diagnosed for adenocarcinoma in March 99. Operated , rt partial hemicolectomy and has a illeostomy. He underwent 5 rounds of chemo and then was operated again for exploratory laparotomy. Investigation confirmed metastasis and nodules on abdominal wall etc. Earlier staging was D. Over the past three months he has been on pain killers (Voveran) but as of the last week has slipped and the pain and abdominal distension is acute. Intake via mouth is almost nil. Am I just supposed to watch him die? The docs. say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me at my office in California at 800 858-7477 at your earliest convenience. There may be a good solution available now at little or no cost. I am serious about the solution and your calling me.
