Hi All, Today my dad has 21 treatments left and 2 chemos. He will be getting one tomorrow. Friday was a big turn time for my dad. He has lost his tastebuds, his tongue is completely swollen, his top of his mouth is a like a sand pad and his side of his mouth "twisting very tight" feeling. He was unable to swollow food today and doesn't have a peg tube in yet.

He is just miserable. Please if anyone has advice on this situation I would love it. Also, is this what you all went thru?

Thanks.
