Can't answer the Cis question..just know that each treatment has a cumulative affect...lowering blood counts for sure.
Re: the PEG. Even better than the cans of supplement...get bunches of ounces of water thru that tube as well as liquids by mouth. That is just as important as the supplement, particularly if he has been vomiting. Of course you get some water in when you flush the tube before and after the cans of supplement, but the more the merrier (within reason, of course.)
