Hi I’ve been on and off on here since my dads diagnosis in Oct. Dad is currently recovering from a partial gastrectomy he had in March and is doing very well. He was originally for post surgery chemo but his consultant and surgeon had a long discussion and decided against this as chemo had shrunk the tumour and only scarred tissue remained in his biopsy results.
At this stage we thought we would have been further on but it seems to be one thing after an other at the min with Dad with various symptoms. He constantly complains of joint pain, numbness and tingling in his fingers that restricts him from doing daily tasks. Pains in his arms, coldness all the time and night sweats were he wakes up soaking in sweat and freezing. We have been in contact with his GP who has checked bloods and everything is ok apart from low iron levels which is to be expected. I’m just wondering if Anyone else has experienced anything similar and can they offer any advice as we are running out of ideas to help him and these little things are understandably now effecting his mood as a previously very active man.
thank you
