Advice appreciated 🙃
My boyfriend’s uncle was just diagnosed with colon cancer that has spread to his liver and lungs. He starts chemo on Monday, and since we’ve never dealt with something like this before, we’re not really sure what he needs. We’re doing what we can to help since we live next door, mowing his lawn, cleaning their bathroom, and stuff like that. We’re trying not to treat him like he’s sick because I imagine it’s overwhelming to have people constantly asking about it and hovering. We want to get him things to keep him busy, assuming chemo will make him tired and weak, but please correct me if I’m wrong. We also want to get things to help him feel more comfortable, I've heard stuff that helps with nausea might be good. Do you have any recommendations? He loves fishing, and it’s clear it bums him out that he doesn’t have the energy to come fishing with us. So, any fishing games or ideas to keep him engaged would be great. Sorry if this sounds all over the place, we’re just scared and feel really helpless. Thank you in advance 💙
