Wow, thanks for all your help. I think this treatment is hell on earth. It's hard to see someone go through it and I can't even imagine how awful it is for him. We have tried everything from all the rinses to suction machine. Right now he is mostly using hydrogen peroxide/water rince and the suction machine. Since the 29th of Oct he has had about 8 boosts at the most. He has been hydrated 3 times last week and we plan on another visit tomorrow. I think we are going to have to go to TPN feeding, which is feeding through a pic line. I just don't think he will be able to eat any other way.
I agree with you Gary about what the MO said about the tomo therapy side effects. I think my husband would agree at this point. He is barely verbal now and cannot swallow anything by mouth. He hasn't taken any pain meds due to no food and it will make him more sick. He just can't get himself to eat. Very frustrating for me but I am sure when they weigh him tomorrow there will have to be a decision made to either hospitalize or start TPN.
Thanks for all the help.
