Hello mmdecarlo,

I don't have any experience with that type of cancer. Are you sure he doesn't have SSC in the nasopharynx area?
Is he inputting enough cans of food daily along with plenty of water? We all lose weight during treatment and it's essential we input enough to heal from treatment along with maintaining our weight.
Is surgery part of his treatment plan? What type of chemo drugs are they giving him and how often? What type of radiation is he receiving?
The more knowledge we have the more we can help you with questions you will have.

All My Best, Danny Boy
