My father was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer that has spread to the liver. He is also type II diabetic - he starts his chemo/radiation treatment on Tuesday, Feb 3rd. His sugar level is currently 208, so he took a glypicide pill, should I take him to the hospital anyway. He did have a mini stroke in November of 2013
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your father has esophagus cancer stage 4.  Surgery is not helpful at this stage.  Only treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy.  So he should take it according to his doctors' advice.  For sugar control he can take oral anti-diabetic Chat Doctor.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
