Hello Everyone,
Its been a while since my last post, but here is a quick rundown of whats happened lately. My last post my father had been put in the hospital because he was so dehydrated and stayed there a week since then he finished his treatments with radiation and chemo. He did a total of 80 radiation treatments.
One of my main concerns was i thought a PEG tube was necessary in his situation, but none of the doctors would listen to my concerns or my fathers concerns. Anyways he was weighted yesterday at the chemo dr and he now is 106 lbs. My goodness I just don't understand why the would let him go so long like this. Any ways I have insisted to my dad that this Tues I am going to the Chemo Dr with him (he has to go 2x a week just to get weighed) and I'm going to push this issue with the doectors.
Also, something that the ENT doctor said to us which is kind of unsettling to me is " If my father continues to lose weight but getting the calories then we have to look into the possibiliy that a second cancer has developed.
He is scheduled to have Cat scans in a couple of weeks. Is that proceduce to wait a month or so after treatments have stopped to do these test?
He is still in quite a bit of pain. I have to say he has been a real trooper through this.

Any suggestions or incite in the matter i would appriciate
