thanks guys...
so he had his last chemo treatment yesterday. He was supposed to have the final one next Monday, but he is losing his hearing in both ears-- because of the hearing loss he's experiencing, the doctor decided to stop with the chemo yesterday. he goes to an audiologist on Thursday for an evaluation. He still has 7 more radiation treatments. The surgeon told him after the last radiation treatment that he has to 'heal' before talking about reconstruction surgery. He was/is in alot of pain from the radiation/chemo and had the doctor prescribe a pain patch (fentanyl). It seems to help a bit. it makes me a little nervous that the stopped the chemo- did any of you experience something like this? hes been going for a total of 7 or 8 weeks now... do you think theres a chance they may resume the chemo later?
