Hi,
my dad has cancer. Recently, he had a surgery and a part of his colon was removed due to a little tumor. The main problem was he had an overdose of Imodium, so his peristaltic movement had stopped, and that's why he actually had to have a surgery. That was 2 weeks ago.
Last week, he's discharged from the hospital. Until this moment, he's not able to eat, only a spoonful or two everytime. And he won't eat rice, moreover meat or chicken. The doctor told him to eat at least 100 grams of meat/meal, so that means 300 grams/day. In fact, he hasn't eaten more than 100 grams of meat in this week. His main staple now is Proten, a soy milk with high protein and vitamins because he has a low albumin level.
He's only allowed porridge, oatmeal, or steamed rice. And meats and chicken. Also carrots, spinach, and pumpkins. For fruit, only apple.
He feels sick all the time, and barely has the energy to walk.
I feel so helpless. Please help, guys...
Thanks...
