On his 9th folfox and pani tomorrow. This last week he won't eat and sleeps all day. When I mention food and the supplements he has been recommended I just get a dirty look and a huff.
Two more months minimum of this, its just getting worse. I try to be supportive and remember he is sick, it is just so hard.
Hi FiveO. My partner was a bit like that for a while. Especially on or around treatment days. After 3 years (incurable but treatable) we've kind of reached a position where she's not often hungry but will reluctantly eat properly without getting too argumentative. I hope things improve for you as I remember those days of not being able to do anything right!
