Pancreatic cancer

Taylor put Jim in the hospital. His stomach was distended (?) and very painful. The amount of fluid coming out of the drain has nearly tripled. My wife is worried that Taylor is starting to fall apart. She tried talking with the oncologist about all of the problems...was told that being that Jim has decided to not pursue treatment that there is nothing he can do for him. Jims primary doctor has told her that there is not much she do for him other then attempt to treat the apparent infection using anti-biotics, which to date have done nothing. She has talked with the surgeon, who pretty much told her the same thing the primary care doc did. Jim is persisting in having his martinis...with the thinking he does not throw them back up so there is nothing wrong with having several a day. Beer, on the other hand, he can't keep down so he should not drink beer. If someone understand that line of thought could you KINDLY explain it to me. Pretty much no matter what he attempts to eat he either throws it back up or it comes out the other end as fluid. Sadly he is still very verbally abusive to her.
Taylor told Ernie that she is changing the bandages every 3 hours or so. She also said that pretty much every time she changes the bandages she throws up from the smell.
When Taylor bought Jim to the ER the other day the E doc did tell her that what is happening NEEDS to be dealt with.
She did take him to a different hospital this time...with the hopes that the infection gets dealt with before the infection kills him. They both understood going into the Whipple Surgery that it was a rough procedure, that life expectancy is 5 years or so...if all goes well. While the tumor was removed in its entirety the cancer had already spread.
