My husband has Nasopharynx Cancer which is rare and hard to understand treatment. At first he was told 35x 3 doses Cisplatin. He had a hard time as expected but when it was over(2/19/08) he started to feel better every day. THen the MO urged him to do adjunctive therapy with 3 large doeses 5FU and Cisplatin 3/10/08). As many of you may already know he had a terrible reaction due to lack of DPD in his DNA 9 days in hospital and almost died. Now he is suffering from neuropathy (numbness hands and feet) so the doctors want to change chemo plan to 6 weeks of Carboplatin/Erbitux. Understand that there is no signs of cancer in most recent MRI or PET scans and the cancer was discovered early. Craig (husband) is very depressed and still suffering with effects of previous chemo. He doesnt want to do any more chemo or so he says. He is having panic attacts and very negitive attitude about everything. At what point do you say enough and at what point do I back off and let him make the decision to stop the chemo and deal with what comes.

THanks for your help!
