Esophageal cancer n got mild attack
My father is suffering from Esophageal cancer n was going through chemotherapy, in the middle of treatment he felt very hungry so after asking from nurse we gave him lunch but after two bites he felt food had stuck so he had one sip of water and after that he started coughing. During this he got mild attack also. Now my father have reduced weight, his hemoglobin is going down he is very weak. After mild attack doctors have kept him in SICU, and are saying for Angiography.
Should I go for this as don't think his body will be able to take this?
