It does seem like forever doesn't it? I just feel so bad for my dad and hope he isn't just giving up. My mom is getting so worn out taking care of him when my siblings and I aren't around. I brought him to the dr this Wednesday because of the blood pressure. We know low blood pressure can mean dehydration. The dr didn't seem concerned, although his nurses thought my dad should get rehydration. The dr didn't suggest that. He just said to get more fluids and sent us on our way. The weight loss was 4 lbs. in 6 days. That was the most he lost in one week since treatment started. I also worry because we were never told his stage until we read the report on his surgery. From what I have read, T4/N2 is quite serious. They removed a total of 60 nodes in his neck dissection. He also has lymphodema. My dad is questioning his decision to have the surgery. Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it.
