My dad had completed 25th cycle of radiotherapy and had a review today. Radiation Onco had him admitted to hospital for supportive care even though dad was moderately better compared to last week. However, RO seems to be concerned with Oral mucositis and infection, reduced intake, loss of hearing and pain. He said the treatment will continue but while in hospital for next 3 days.

Treatment hopefully end on 21st Sept. Fingers crossed for week ahead.
