Hi Tracy-
My Mom did have a 2 week delay and then after the 2nd treatment they cancelled it. They felt she got too toxic so they did not want to risk it again. Are they giving him a laxative? How about an xray of his lower gi? They should be checking to make sure he does not have a blockage.

What type of chemo did he get- Cisplatin? How many more left?

The swelling can be a result of the chemo (bloating). Is he getting out of bed at all and moving?

Hang in there.....it will get better!
Tami
