I would be very surprised if his medical staff is fully aware that he hasn't taken any nutrition for over a week and are doing nothing about it. My recollection of those who got through treatment without a peg tube was that there were only a few days when they took NO nutrition. At the rate he's going, it will likely be 9 days already, plus 4 more days to finish treatment, plus at least 7 more days post-treatment when he is as sore, or sorer, than he is now. That's 3 weeks without nutrition which is very dangerous. I agree with Cookey. His medical team needs to know the extent of this.
