Sue unfortunately yes this can happen. It can hit you pretty hard. The oncologist can adjust the dosage so it is a little easier to tolerate.

I am assuming your husband has oral cancer and is being treated for that. Is he also getting radiation? Where exactly is his cancer?

Please add a signature so its easier to help you. Click on the "My Stuff" tab, on the drop down menu, click on "edit Profile". Scroll to the bottom and type your husbands info in the white box and click "submit". Without a signature or any type of history its pretty difficult to answer your questions.

The biggest thing to pay attention to is your husbands intake. he MUST get 2500 calories in daily and a minimum of 48 oz of water. If his intake isnt that much then he will feel awful. Water is especially important to flush the chemo from his body. It can be very hard on the kidneys and cause serious trouble if he doesnt take in enough hydration. He can get hydrated at the chemo lab with a doctors prescription.
