@lls8000,

Thank you, I will write down everything I can think of asking. I will update Monday. Tentatively, the doctor talked about starting chemo Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This schedule stinks. It has him going the 3 days before Christmas. I assume all the side effects will knock him down. He’s losing weight and can’t get it back on him despite what I give him. Thankfully, he still has an appetite.

@ohiogal8860, I'm sure it's difficult to watch the weight loss, but it's great that he still has an appetite. Add that to your list of questions for tomorrow; likely a consult with a nutritionist is in order. Usually, you'll see recommendations of pushing anything with high levels of protein, high calorie protein shakes, or whatever he'll eat.
This is a link to info for lack of appetite caused by treatment, but the Increasing Calories and Increasing Protein sections may be helpful:
