My mom is 74 yrs. old. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 & has been in remission until recently, as the cancer has spread to lymph node near clavicle, lungs, & is attached to esophagus. She also has a schatzki ring & is unable to eat/drink. She gags herself & regurgitates everything. Some days she gets a little bit down, but I'm concerned she is dehydrated. She has lost a lot of weight in the past year - about 80 lbs (was 200 now down to 120). She is a difficult patient & her doctors are not working together. She refuses to get a peg, which was recommended. She was in the hospital recently due to a fall & was fed with an IV - went home after 3 days feeling better. She had an esophageal x-ray & was told there is no obstruction in the esophagus. I'm scared she is dying, but none of the doctors are talking.
