Additionally, he is not eating and generally not feeling good. He had blood work done yesterday and white blood cell count was low. The nurses in chemo said tiredness was expected, but his side effects seem extreme. Is this a common experience from others who have had this treatment? Treatments are scheduled 1/3 weeks for 9 weeks initially but he says he doesn't want to have another one.
Thomas is my husband who was diagnosed 10/21/2012 stage IVc,T4a,N2c,M1, hypopharyngeal scc, bilateral cervical nodes, spots in lung
