My husband, 65 y/o, was diagnosed with colon cancer 7 years ago, has undergone several colon resections which left him with constant diarrhea. His journey has continued with metastasis to his liver 4 years ago, which he then had half of his liver removed, chemo pre and post surgery. A year and a half later it reoccurred in the anastomoses of his colon and a new spot on his liver. Surgery again to the colon and ablation to the liver, pre and post chemo and radiation. One year later metastasis to his left lung which they did wedge resection to remove. Now 1 year later, he has peritoneal carcinomatosis, has received 5 rounds of chemo and suffered two bowel obstructions within 3 weeks. They resolved on their own and his doctors have said he is not a surgical candidate, there is nothing more they can do for him except comfort measures. He has decided to discontinue all treatment and make the best of his life he has left. Diarrhea is the main issue with 6-10 movements per day. Anti-diarrhea medications were never much help and since the bowel obstructions he is afraid to attempt to use them at all. His appetite is still good, he is a meat and potato eater. Occasionally has lower abdominal pain/burning. We wonder if anyone can tell us what will happen from here?
Thank you for any information, Dogmomma
