at the RO appointment today, she discovered that he has developed thrush. gave him meds for that and increased his fentynol patch to 75. im not sure if that was enough of an increase. he went from 25 to 50 last week and it didnt touch the pain...24 hours and we shall see.
at the MO today...he has been seeing him every 2 weeks thru radiation, today he said he wanted to see him every week again. is this normal??? should i be concerned?? he wants him to come in everyday for hydration too.
he told him he was going to keep the PEG in for approx 6 months after treatment and at that time as long as he put on some weight and was eating more than 70% orally--he would remove it.
only 11 more IMRT to go and 2 more chemos...the end is soooo close!!!
he is in terrible shape, feels horrible but sees that end stretch. if he could get out of bed, he would be dancing around and doing a jig!!!!!!
