Hello. My husband was diagnosed with stage III scc with an unknown primary in December. He started chemotherapy (cisplatin every 3 weeks) and radiation (every day, m-f for 7 weeks) on March 4. He is having a lot of pain in his mouth and throat, and will likely need a feeding tube soon--he is losing lots of weight (18 lbs so far). My question is about nausea and memory loss: he followed the oncologist's information to a T in terms of the side effects from cisplatin--days 5-6 were really bad, then on day 11 he got really nauseated again. Does radiation cause nausea? Does either treatment affect memory? He is losing words, and forgetting plans and entire conversations. He has been on the anti-nausea meds, but has been reluctant to take anything stronger than advil for pain.
