@woodsy1 My husband got into a clinical trial at MSK, his treatments were shortened to 15 radiation treatments and 2 chemo infusions, as his chemo was 100mg his was split over 2 days each 3 weeks apart. One thing to do is take any anti nausea meds that are suggested. Also even after 15 radiation treatments his taste buds are not good, he can't taste much which stops him from eating. Saw dr yesterday, seemly he has hit rock bottom and should start to improve going forward. We'll see. I don't know how people go through 35 treatments, it must be awful. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hi again -
Is your husband a former smoker or smoker by any chance?
