now you have me curious about your comment!?!? Robert had 6 adjunctive Cisplatin infusions with his radiation treatments. This is typical NCCN protocol for advanced staged H&N cancer.
They are suggesting an additional chemo regime, probably prophylactic, for whatever reason they deem necessary, particularly since recurrence was NOT mentioned in this instance.
In any case it doesn't address the original post in that he has serious nutritional issues from not eating.
