<s>[INST] My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 tongue cancer in July, 2013. After the scan they found out that it had spread to the lympnodes! He went through 35 radiation treatments and 6 chemo treatments. His last treatment was September 19, 2013. I have been feeding him and giving him meds through his feeding tube. He is still not able to eat very much. He can do a little bit of jello, pudding or eggs. (couple of bites) He also suffered 2 strokes since 2009, so he has lost his speech again. Just in the last couple of days he is throwing up every time I give him his ensure through the feeding tube. Why is he throwing up again?? [/INST] Hello madam ,      Sorry for the stage of disease ur husband had . As ur husband had stage 4 tongue cancer disease means the treatment is palliative (symptomatic ) . Thus the life span is less than 10 -12  months , Feeding through feeding tube is the only thing helps him for providing nutrition . As ur husband is not taking  food and throwing after feeding tube indicates of anorexia ( NOT FEELING TO HAVE FOOD ) common in cancer patients . Or it might have extended to the throat which causes him to do like that . Hope he recover and have a symptom free life for him </s>
