My oncologist nixed the 3 dose option because I already had significant hearing loss in my right ear from years of hunting. She went with the smaller doses once a week for eight weeks concurrent with the radiation. Towards the end I got pretty sick and was running a fever. They ended up canceling the last three weeks of Chemo therapy. I was upset but the doctor said it was no big deal. She said the outcome wouldn't change as the primary treatment was the radiation. In the end she was right.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Glad to hear the nutrition problem is under control. Keep up with the liquids too and he should continue to feel better. You guys are in the home stretch! Stay positive 🤠
