He was upgraded to stepdown ICU during last night and is now on high flow O2. Chest CT showed bibasilar opacities believed to be associated with aspiration pneumonia from trying to swallow with the intense mucositis. I am more worried now about getting him home at this point. But, yes, chemo regimen will definitely have to be altered. Appreciate any/all prayers going his way.

Just a quick update for everyone. My husband passed away yesterday from complications of toxicity from 5FU component of FLOT treatment. This was his first chemo treatment (1/29) and he died with multi organ failure and DIC on 02/17.
