Finally had to reduce the dosage of his chemo for the final 2 to get him to the end. He's 1 month out of chemo but still nauseas although far better than he was.
PET scan results came in today. The tumour has responded but not gone completely. No lymph node involvement though which is good. He starts immunotherapy in 2 weeks on Nivolumab. Hopefully it will help get rid of what remains.
