This needs to be discussed with the doctor and his chemo changed, Carboplatin is a great alternative. Its something that luckily I did not have happen and if it had, I would have spoken up.
Make sure Brian keeps swallowing every single day no matter how difficult or unpleasant it is due to taste. You do not want him to lose his ability to swallow.
If you go with the Carnation VHC, it can easily be ordered thru Amazon. There is a link right on the forum pages to go thru. This will give OCF a small kickback. It can be used for any Amazon purchase you make. The Carnation VHC bought thru the Amazon link runs about $46 a case with S&H included.
Good luck with his treatments!
