Q:My husband, who is in a nursing home, is in the last stages of Parkinson's disease. I am told his extreme weight loss is part of the disease progress. I recently had a feeding tube placed in him because he was having trouble eating solid food. My question: is extreme weight loss part of the final stages of the disease, and once the patient has reached that point, what, if anything, can be done to get them the nourishment they need? He also has severe dementia. Thank you. (anonymous)Show Answer
