Jeff Young's Fight Against Colon Cancer

Met with Dietitian

Friday morning we met with a dietitian. We are trying to introduce some solid food back into Jeff's diet, but he is sleeping an awful lot, which is making it a challenge. Sometimes his taste or appetite has shifted in the amount of time it took to prepare something. We should be meeting with Dr. Tim later on this week. He got the okay and regiment information from Dr. Stephen Cantrell in Tennessee. This is a trial regiment that is seeing some results in tumor shrinkage and along with that is subsiding some of the negative effects from cancer. It is a regiment that Jeff can receive at home and does not require him to travel at this pint for any observation. Dr. Tim will go over all the information with us and see if Jeff wants or is able to do it.
Jeff is still extremely weak and while he has put a few solids on his tummy and has held them down it is not much. He is awake for maybe 5-6 hours out of the day. I still worry about him and we are not out of the woods and have a long way to go. That is the update for now.
Take care! I hope all is well with everyone!
