Dad is one week into just his 2nd cycle of folfox, so far he has been OK, eating well, keeping is foods down and trying hard to keep a routine going! ie. Getting up in the morning and staying up till around 6pm! We are all trying to help as much as we can and I have even given him meditation to try help the mood swings but mum says are particularly bad in the morning, he doesn't seem to be in the mood for anyone, and he is so fed up on waking through the night, and spending the days being tired and out of sorts. I know chemo isn't easy and the whole facing mortality, I understand it and try to lift his mood every day, I completely understand why he get the moods as he is unable to do the thing he once enjoyed like going for a walk or tending to the garden and so on. He also has started getting the rectum stabbing pain again and started passing small stools out his back passage, I think this has his worried and we dont know if this is a positive of or a negative with the stage cancer he has! Anyways, any advice on how to perk him up, any mediitations/books/ documentaries (he LOVES docuumentaries) any advice at all would be good, hate seeing him shut himself away, I thought my positivity was rubing off on him for a while, but he is gone into his shell again and I really wanna pull him back out of it! Thanks guys
