Thanks guys, I'm flying to see him this weekend and will be able to see for myself exactly how he is doing. His first round of chemo was yesterday and he was in good spirits and hadn't had any side effects as of last night. However, this morning he stated that he didn't feel as well, didn't feel like himself - which I really didn't understand.
He only explained to me that the doctors wanted to start with chemo and then possibly do the surgery or will then do the chemo with radiation daily. I believe that he has only told me as little as possible and has even said that he doesn't want me to stress if things don't look as I think they should when I see him tomorrow.
He tells me that he can only get down soft foods like mashed potatoes because his gums are still soft from the teeth being extracted. However; I think that if he could chew he would try and eat what he could with the assistance of the morphine.
What can you recommend for him to eat or drink while he's deciding if the PEG will be necessary?
