[QUOTE="slider701, post: 10493897, member: 50443"] OP - Sorry to hear about your friend. My mom died from GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) two years ago and this sounds like what your friend has. Unfortunately she was also not able to hold down food and she withered away from over 150 lbs to under 90 when she passed away. Everybody is different in that they have different tolerance to the meds, the food, and their willpower to live. Hopefully your friend is strong enough to fight this right to the edge of death (in order for the meds and chemo to work) and then fight his way back after the cancer is in remission. Unfortunately in most cases GIST never fully goes away and all they can do is keep fighting the tumors over time. There are a several support sites like [url=http://www.gist.com]Social CRM, Online Contact Management, and Professional Networking | Gist.com[/url] and [url=http://www.gistsupport.org]GIST Support International - GIST Support International: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor patient education and support[/url] that might be able to give you more answers. Good luck............your friend is in everyone's prayers. [/QUOTE]
