Hi everyone,

my dad has Oesophagus cancer and currently on 2nd round of Chemo, it is palliative care as it has spread to his spine and lymph nodes. 
he was admitted to hospital yesterday, he felt very unwell. It is hard to get through to hospital and you are only allowed to visit in pre booked hour slot so hard to find doctors. Apparently, his white blood cells are high. He is being sick (trying to) a lot and struggling to walk as he is dizzy and eye sight has gone bad.

all I have been given so far is that it could be an infection. Anyone had this before?

    Sorry, now been told that it is not an infection, it’s how he has responded to chemo. They trying to get his symptoms under control, they have stopped treatment. Concerned he won’t carry on
