[quote=davidcpa]I did not have the Peg but my RO also was pretty adamant about not interrupting the rad schedule. I remember I was admitted to the hospital due to everything in my last week of rad and I was one sick weak puppy. They wheeled me into the rad room and nuked me anyway. I didn't miss one rad Tx my entire time and I was lucky as their IMRT machine did break down a few times, just not so it affected me. Brian knows more about this than I but I did read some articles discussing the trend towards more rad sooner in an effort to deliver the most killing juice as soon as possible. I believe studies may have indicated a better kill rate than the same rad dose over the traditional 7 weeks.

Is there just no way to get him to swallow anything on his own? [/quote]

Thanks, David. He is TRYING to get stuff down... but it is so hard. He says everything tastes horrible. Its hard for him to swallow cuz the tumor is closing in on both sides of his throat.
