My brother has terminal mesothelioma and very little time left. He is basically starving to death because he can't face food or even the mention of it without experiencing nausea.
He has little pain & is only taking 2mg morphine 2 - 3 times daily, and a stool-softener to counteract the morphine/inaction/poor diet.
Tried steroid once, but said made feel sick & very ill, so very reluctant to try again.
Anyone got experience of similar problem & able to offer advice? Would be very grateful for any suggestions.
