It will need a doctors prescription. Becoming dehydrated will make him feel awful, Im sure even your father would say something if that happened. Its not a big deal to get a couple bags of fluids in the chemo lab. It will make him feel much better. So keep that in the back of your mind for the upcoming weeks in case his drinking capabilities diminish.
