Tracy-my dad was there too. This is the worst part. Just remind him that this is the time that all of the cumulative effects of the earlier doses hit. My dad was someone I didn't know-he told me to go to hell even!! BUT, he/we made it, he's all done with treatment. Just keep encouraging him and pushing him. It won't make it easier. I often shot him stories about all of the wonderful fighters and survivors I met here...I think that helped?? He was hospitalized and all that jazz---keep praying and encouraging. It REALLY does get better sooner than we thought anyway.
