Tomorrow is the last Chemo and this week 5 more radiation treatments to go . Starting yesterday he is unable to eat anything without excruciating pain. He is able to drink some water out of a straw. Through 6 weeks of treatments he has been eating and drinking.

Any tips on how to get him through this last week? He is on pain meds that we have had to increase the dosage daily. Now he gets chills and pain every time he drinks.
