Hello DEG04,

Welcome to the club no one wants to join. Depending on what type of radiation he's going through not being able to eat after three weeks is normal. If you can call anything normal about the treatment. We all react differant to the same treatment. Is he being treated at a local hospital or a multi-disiplined cancer center? Was his treatment decided by one or two doctors or a cancer rewiew board with different opinions on how best to treat his case?

The more knowledge you have about this diaease the better decisions you will make on treatment.

I wish him the best and again, Welcome.

Dan
