Not this as well

There were some better-er days there, Jan Arne even went for a walk the other day. He's also been playing a lot with the kids (no visitors here please as it is impossible to walk because of all the Lego all over the place) and has had some energy to watch TV and other such every day things.

But on the negative side he's had some fever and chills, still no appetite to speak of but at least no nausea as he upped the dose of nausea pills. The most annoying and uncomfortable and worrying thing is that his stomach has been slowly getting bloated. It is probably (and this diagnosis from me, and I am not a doc) the typical symptom of cancer I guess, google "ascites" if you wish. He was supposed to have a doctor's appointment at our local hospital on Monday but this evening the stomach started to be so bloated I think he will have to go there first thing in the morning. I hope they can identify the cause and do something about it. He is feeling quite uncomfortable and it is also difficult for him to sleep.

Again hoping for better days.

I found this herbal remedy to help bloating

How to Use Ginger to Get Rid of Bloating

Instructions.

Things You'll Need:
•1 tsp fresh grated ginger
•1 tsp lime juice

1 Purchase some nice firm, fresh ginger from your grocery store and a good fresh lime.

2 Peel the ginger root with a peeler. An alternative to a peeler is to use the edge of a spoon to scrape the skin off as it is very papery.

3 Grate the peeled ginger with your preferred grater. I don't recommend food blenders however as they make a little too much mince meat of the ginger.

4 Juice your lime. You will want to make sure you have no seeds. If you are not fond of pulp, be sure to remove all of that as well.

5 Measure out a teaspoon of grated ginger and a teaspoon of lime juice into a glass or cup and mix well to form a drink for using ginger to get rid of bloating naturally.

6 Down the Hatch! Drink the mixture to naturally stop bloating straight away. The stop bloating drink doesn't keep and should always be prepared fresh.

OR some say that just drink 'Pepermint Tea' will help as well

And I am definitely praying for you
