My mom after 4 years diagnosis of stage IV

melo72

After the last 8 cycle of chemo with folfiri+Avastin my mother is not in a good condition again!!she has lost so much weight and now looks like just skletone and skin...the oncologist has stoped the chemo,no appetite and very weak.
We don't know really what will help her to gain a little weight,we have tried so many things but she refuses to eat always.

her liver enzyms has went up and CEA level is now 675 which in the last exam on 4 months ago was 480!
The oncologist says the liver mets is not wrost than 6 months ago but generally she is much wrose than that time.
we can not continue the chemo ,will kill her sooner but we have an appoinment on friday with another oncologist maybe to suggests kind of treatment that could help her!

any suggestion or experience?
thanx

weight loss
I was dropping the pounds like crazy during chemo. I started drinking "Scandi-shakes". The vanilla is the best. The pack a real punch as far as calories and for me were the easiest on my digestive tract.
