My partned was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis which we now have been told was caused by bile duct cancer. He has list so much weight and can't eat but they just tell him to eat little and often. He has a drain in also with the pancreatitis so chemo can't begin until that is removed. I always feel that no one is doing enough to help his nutrition. It's soul destroying to watch him and i do get very stressed when he doesn't eat i feel so guilty. The stress is getting to me as neither his or my family help and it seems so difficult to get mcmillan or to know where to go. I sometimes feel they are just leaving him to die. He is only 56 and i am at my wits end the loneliness is crippling. I would appreciate any advice on nutrition or any home help avenues i could explore.
Many Thanks
