I am grateful to have found this forum! My dad was recently diagnosed(April 16) with SCC BOT. I am not savvy with all the abbreviations, so please bare with me. We have already met with radiation oncologist, and he has an appointment next week with chemo. He will have 7 weeks of tx total= 5 days a week IMRT and 1 day a week of chemo. My dad is healthy, 66 years old and golfs daily, but is not a good eater! I am worried that this will be disastrous once tx begin. I am looking for ideas to keep him going as he swears he will be fine and refuses (for now) a PEG tube. Any suggestions? He seems to be in denial about the whole situation, and I don't know how to get him to understand how serious this is! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
