Hello all ,
My dad had his scan friday so we are all on edge for the results also he had alot of loose stools last week that finally seems to be getting better . However today I have noticed he has confusion problems and even fell one time . He has had five cycles of folfiri is on blood thinners I know most likely there is alot going on but can low electrolytes cause the confusion and the fall ? I had him started drinking propel hoping that helps out until monday when i can call the oncologist ?
The current other problem is he is all of a sudden getting very tired which I know most likely could be the chemo but he also has had a hemoglobin of 7 to 9 for years and the oncologist is ok with it . Could anemia also be playing a role in the sleeping so much ?
