Hi Everyone, Things are going well for Richard at this point in time. He is still managing to eat soft foods along with using the Peg tube. His taste is gone, but he wants to continue to eat as long as possible. We have 12 more radiation treatments and 1 more chemo to go. The RO told him he was doing "splendidly." She must see some pretty bad cases. Every waking hour is spent keeping track of calories and nutrition. We are also walking and doing things around the house. All and all on an even keel.

I have a question for those of you who had cisplatin for chemo. Do you know your dosages either weekly or the 3x cycle? Richard dose was lowered for the 2nd chemo and the RO said that this is normal to do after the the bigger dose for the first one. It's probably because of the blood work, but the MO said that his 2nd dose was a therapeutic one and it was fine to lower it. I was just curious about how much the weekly dose is and what others received. His first dose was 196 and the 2nd was 110. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Geri
