My father is being fed through a tube through the stomach with probalance and eats very small meals. He was diagnosed in January of 2008 with Esophageal Cancer, it seems to be in later stages. He had chemo and radiation. The tumor was reduced 50%. He is no longer receiving treatment. He is 88. Went from being extremely active with my healthy 87 yr old Mother, playing golf, driving, working around the house. Now he weighs 135 pounds to 114 pounds, depressed, feeling hopeless and won't eat much and won't hardly drink. Uses a walker. Fell last weekend. Extremely week, extreme mood changes which I've read about. On prednisone for Radation Pneumonia.
Any advice??
