Hi, I am looking for some advice/help. My dad currently has stage 4 gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. We were told it couldn't be cured, but could have palliative chemotherapy to prolong his life. He has since started XELOX, with iv given every 21 days and tablets to be taken twice a day.
We recently found out he has a DPD deficiency so his treatment has to be reduced. He's now worried that the treatment won't work with a reduced amount of therapy, is this the case?
He is also currently suffering from pain in his groin which doesn't seem to be going away. Has anyone else suffered from this? Any help/advice would be very much appreciated, Thank you.
