I'm going through this with my mother. She was diagnosed (from what I believe) in May. It is currently almost October (5 months later) and I now see her decline. I, at first noticed her weight loss...but she put on a strong front. Now, she, in my opinion is a Guinea pig in a sense that her pain management, and her appetite medication is trial and error. I too have seen her eat like a champ, other days I hear she only eats a yogurt and several Iced coffees through the day. If she loses her desire to drink Duncan Donut's iced coffee, I know she's losing it..(trying to find humor through this) It's hard for me to watch her totally "with it" but trapped inside a body that is shutting down. All your information has helped me Susan, thank you all for being out there.
