I wanted to quit at the same stage as well & asked everybody what would happen if I did. Well, I somehow kept going & finished tx. I did stop the last cisplatin round though & my hemonc guy said it was not a good idea, but he would agree to it if I would finish radiation. Those wer'e tough times, no question about it! Never been so low in all my life! Tell him he does not have to care anymore, just that he has to finish. Tell him he can be mad as hell or whatever it takes to just get him to complete the treatment. Tell him I'm pullin' for him! Erik
