My dad, 73 yrs old, just completed 7 weeks radiation therapy. He also received 7 Cisplatin treatments. Besides the fact that he is having the horrible mucus problems we also have other issues. He is very weak, has lost 4 pounds in a week, his blood pressure is low, he is nauseated and not interested in any of the things that usually interest him. He is always in bed now and when he is up he can't grasp what is going on around him. He has a feeding tube, so most of the time we are able to feed him enough. Are there any problems that we should know about with this treatment that the drs. didn't tell us about?
