My dad was in the hospital for one week. His treatment was postponed for that whole week. I or his brother stayed with him every night. There was also an incident where his treatment was cancelled for a day due to an unexpected issue with the machine. We were a bit nervous about it. BUT--today he had his follow up ENT check up and he "couldn't feel anything, excellent results". My dad has fresh, new baby skin on his neck after the radiation burns have healed. It's kind of like the skin us women would like to have on our face (esp after all of this stress). We get our follow up scan the end of October. How are his blood counts? What are his White Blood cells doing?
Odd about the rash? I'm sorry, is he getting IMRT? Have the fevers broken? Bring him some movies, MAKE him walk the halls.
