My cousin's husband has Stage IV esophageal cancer.  He stopped treatment and now sleeps most days on his pain meds.  He says he is not hungry, isn't eating or drinking fluids.  Should she be trying to "force" him to eat, or do these symptoms indicate that his body is shutting down?susancole1461@  WWW.WWWW.WW
