My 37 year old son has corectal cancer stage 3 is taking chemo and radiation. He now thinks he has gastritis from the pain killers he has taken. He has taken almost all the recommended therapy except 7 more days. He is losing too much weight now. Can he stop the therapy now and have successful results or must he finish.he was.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment of colorectal cancer depends on stage and type of cancer. In general chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed by surgery followed by chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. He should complete the course of chemotherapy to get good results. If he has acidity problems then he can take Proton pump inhibitors to avoid that. But he must complete the course.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
