We're going into week six staring Monday.
I'm not sure my husband is going to make it to week seven he's burned very bad the raw neck is showing all around I'm really worried he will get staph or it will become very infected he's trying to stay home and not get out around so many germs .. He's using Aquaphor ,cool aloe for the burning and Neosporin the one we have has plus pain Relif .. His mouth is so sore he can't drink water with out the pain so yesterday I started putting formula trough the peg along with water . I'm not sure how long each feeding should take I've been doing them slow around 30 mins each can or in our case bottle I've stocked up on Ensure plus it has good protein with 350 cal: each bottle the two cal has more but is much thicker and harder to get trough the peg it gives some resistance as I'm putting it trough witch takes a little longer than the thinner Ensure
My husband took his last chemo Thursday he has a shaking in his hands and arms and is very nervous ... He didn't have this before !! Treatment !
This time on a better note the chemo didn't make him sick I think it's because we stayed on top of the Anti nausea meds: I'm wondering how long after treatment will it be before he can start to eat again ? Also how long will it before the neck starts to show healing .. We talk to the dr tomorrow I still keep racking my brain on if they should have done surgery to remove the tumor!




Will they still have to do surgery after rads: or so the expect the rads and one and half dose of chemo to get rid of this completely ??

It's a lot to think about I don't bring it up to my husband I don't want to Add to the stress being he is so close to being finished with treatments !

I keep asking is the formula alone enough to keep the weight on or help gain back some of what he lost? He was weighed on Thursday and was at 223 he started at 257 I pray he don't loose no more as I'm staying on top of the peg feedings every two hours or until he gets 2500 to 3000 cal:
