Hi guys I'm Ed's son, Saul, and am writing this for him. He's going through a bad spell right now. Nobody has mentioned HPV to us, but I guess it could be a possibility.

He was a regular smoker on and off for the last 20 years and drank more than he should.

The sleeping issue is a huge problem. He has had less than 4 hrs the last 2 or 3 days combined. There have been sleeping issues in the past but now they have been compounded, and combining that with pain has left him feeling pretty awful. He has a radiation treatment tomorrow and is not looking forward to it. He's also not eating that much, I'm nagging him to but it's difficult. He's never been a big eater. I'm hoping he'll get a feeding tube soon. My sister has been taking him to his treatments during the week and I spend the weekends with him, .... I mention that just because I don't speak directly to the doctors I live out of state. Wish there was more I could do, just trying to keep him positive.

Anyone experienced sleeping issues? That is a huge issue for him right now.

Thanks
