Believe me I know it's tough on him as I had to dive 40 mile one way each weekday myself and I didn't dare try to drink on the road. My rad appts were early like 8:30 am and many times as soon as I arrived I went straight to the BR and threw up. That was if I was lucky to make it without a roadside stop. Somehow, in spite of all of my shortcomings I survived the Tx which scared me a whole lot more than the cancer.
My point is he just needs to continue to get as much food and water into his body as he can. It will be soooo much easier on him and therefore everyone around him.
