Only 2 sessions of carbo/taxol and no more. Liver affected and not doing well.

After a recurrence and mets to several bones and now a new spot on the affected lung, my husband has begun to experience pain in his upper abdomen and hips and back. An ultra sound was done to see if gall bladder was acting up as he is experiencing a severe gag reflex at even the mention of food and the abdominal pain. They wanted to see if there were any blockages, as they said that could be corrected. His liver (has many cancer lesions) is acting up. It started with abnormal function readings, which have stabilized, but the bilirubin count is 5.4 as of last Monday. He is slightly jaundiced and has the "orange" urine. After ct and ultra sound they could not find any blockages. They believe it can be damage by the taxol or simply the cancer in the liver reeking havoc. My love was given pain medication and must take nausea meds to get through the day. He seems to be losing all his muscle as the only thing he consumes is hot tea, small portions of creamed soups, applesauce and Boost. The fatigue is severe.
After months of reading and sharing in this wonderful site, I have had the honor and blessing of seeing so many "bumps" in the road for folks, some mild, some severe. I have read with joy the recoveries and survivals. I pray that my husband's health improves enough to see a new year, and be strengthened to battle this monster.
His Oncologist will be administering topetecan on Monday. She says he will be able to take it as they can give to folks with liver problems. I know it is a far reach as we have been told that the recurrence came too soon, to both first and second line treatments. As a wife that adores this man, I cannot help but have hope! I also cannot help but be scared at what my eyes are seeing that is happening to him!
