First off remember none of us are doctors of any kind but we are seasoned patients and some of us, like me, have read thousands of posts over many years.

I would strongly encourage you to listen to your highly trained, most likely experienced specialist. No one on this site would advocate terminating Tx. This cancer has proven a million times over to be extremely agressive and hard to eliminate even with the full amount of Tx. We often see recurrence after recurrence. Some ultimately kill it and some do not but under virtually no circumstances would I stop this Tx.

The reactions he's having are well within normal. Talk to the doctors about things that may help him get past these adverse reactions, i.e., pain meds, feeding tube, topical ointments just to name a few. Most of us had nasty reactions throughout our Tx starting around the mid point and they will get worse but with the proper assistance he can get through this Tx with minimal discomfort. I personally thought my Tx was going to kill me , not the cancer. I lost 30% of my total body weight and was admitted to the hospital on several ocassions during Tx but I survived both the Tx and the cancer and I'm here 8 years post Tx telling you so.
