I am so sorry to hear that. Can you ask your doctor to give him b12 shot ? They do have it at disposal, I know that since I asked my husband's doctor for B12 shot when he had shingles. Shots have immediate effect and it is shame that they are not offered regularly in the States, in Europe it is standard practice.
We also use B12 sublingual tablets as supplements :https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NV5UTIE?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4
As we age our guts have trouble absorbing B12 from food and sublingual administration gives potentially better results. Do not forget to put tablet under the tongue and let is dissolve slowly in the mouth.
Wishing you the best of luck 🌺

From my experience cancer doc's are only interested in treating the cancer not the whole person. Side effects be damned. Anemic? No comment. Rectal bleeding during radiation? Must be the way you wipe. Bladder urgency to the point of blowing up on the table? Empty, drink and get back on that table as I need that $5K today. Receptionist wanted to know if I wanted 5 additional sessions? I said sure as long as you paid me the $5K per session. I hated my radiation team and will find another one if needed.

Thank you. I will see what the labs show next week. I have learned you definitely have to be pushy sometimes.
