What Causes Vomiting During Chemo For Colon Cancer?
My brother in law was diagnosed with Colon cancer They opened him up for surgery and said it metastasized Into his liver and organs -they did a iliostomy And closed him without removing tumors because There were too many -they gave him two rounds Of chemo then put him on a morophine drip. He and my sister are divorced and don't speak But my niece is 22 and has been by his side through All of this but has no real idea what all of this means Last night he threw up for three hours straight And it was only bile she Is incredibly upset And keeps talking about the chemo working Does the chemo ever work when it us this far along Or is the morphine drip really hospice and he could Pass any day -I need to know how to talk to her And best help as we are very close -but my brother In laws new girlfriend wants nothing to do with Our side of the family honest -help would be greatly appreciated.
Your brother in law is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer. Aim of treatment during this stage is palliative chemotherapy with targeted therapy to improve quality of life. Cure is not an option during this stage. Chemotherapy agents are very emetogenic and so i would suggest he takes Metoclopramide tablets thrice daily for 3 days starting from day after chemotherapy is completed. Regards DR De
