What Does It Mean In A Person With Liver Cancer When The Pain Pills Pass Through Them Whole?

My dad was diagnosed with liver, lung and colon cancer in Nov. He was given 6-9 months. Does this mean his liver is beginning to shut down?

  1. that his stomach is not producing the necessary acids/enzymes to breakdown the pills. call the Dr, many medications for cancer patients come in liquid form and can be absorbed through the membranes in the mouth by placing it under the tongue.

  2. It would seem the pills are not getting digested properly. Not sure if it means the liver is shutting down or other organs. Ask the doctor treating him. And, enjoy every moment you can with your dad. It could be 6-9 months or it could be as long as him and his body want to fight.

  3. THAT’S NOT GOOD
