Im concerned for my father. The doctor says his bloodwork is good other than iron. But after his fall and losing his teeth. Hes lost so much weight. No matter how hard i try. I cant put any weight on him. He has alot of arthritis. Maybe thats the problem. He looks like hes wasting away. He pushes himself. But hes tired. Will the doctor tell me today in front of him the truth about his condition. Is he just wasting away? It kills me to feel his spine, collar bone, and his torso with no stomach. Hes almost 83. Determined. But went down hill like this after his falls and mrsa. Never to be the same. How can i talk to his doctor without dad hearing my concerns today. This is so frustrating. Just needing to vent.
And I agree with ba8alou above if you're not going to do the treatment don't do the test.... I wish my Mom would listen but she won't... if something was ever found, no surgeon would touch her, and no Oncologist would suggest chemo.
