he has mucocitis-his entire mouth is a sore, thrush, severly burned face and neck, on fentynol 125 (manages his pain...puts it at a 3). having alot of trouble breathing. some of it is mucous, but it is also nasal blockage due to swelling.

his main tumor is in his nasopharynx. he cannot breathe out of his nose due to the swelling (he also has frequent nosebleeds), and breathing out of his mouth due to the mucous is challenging.

he has had to have his mask redone 2 times due to swelling.

his bloodwork numbers where also one of the reasons to delay treatment.

after the intitial shock wore off...the delay made since to us. what use is treatment if he cant breathe??
