Thanks Scott for sharing your info.

Well your fathers treatment is different then what my Dad had. He had 35 IMRT rads, once a day 5 days a week (7 weeks). 3 Cisplatin chemo's at weeks 1, 3 and 6. With each one he stayed in overnight. First a couple hours of IV hydration; then chemo then I think it was more hydration; then IV pack of anti-nausea and steroids.

My Dad is 69 and he's doing very well 3 1/2 months since treatment finished. He had no problems the first 3 weeks of treatment. The 72 year old man we met having the same treatment did good too overall. Yes he'll get sick, tired etc; but it does get better. My Dad is eating well; not everything tastes good and yes his mouth is dry but nothing like some folks.

I made up a binder; I keep test results; questions, notes etc. It's very easy to forgot or confuse what the dr's say.

Keep us posted on your father; you guys will get thru this. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Take care,
Lisa
