Debbie, dont worry about skipping the last dose of chemo. I also didnt get the 3rd dose. There are several others here who also bypassed the 3rd round.
With his numbers so low, has the doc suggested a shot to boost it back up? I think one of the meds your husband can get to boost his white count is called neulasta. There are a few different ones that will help your husband get his numbers back to where they should be. Ive had the shots too.
Unfortunately your husband's side effects are normal. Oral cancer treatments can be brutal!!! Only a few more weeks til he will begin to feel better. take it day by day or hour by hour is its a bad day.
Best wishes with Pat's continued recovery.
