My father

[ritaxis]

It did not look good last night. He was somnolent, a little confused (he seemed much more confused than he was because he was so somnolent and weak), and could only eat three bites of soup.

He's had a week and a half of radiation.

Is this what we're supposed to expect?

Where can I read about this?

If he gets nauseous, ginger's very good for that, and not much in the way of side effects, as far as I know*. (When you boil the soup, add a few slices of ginger root, or stick a ginger tea bag in).
(It is blood-thinning in large doses, like aspirin)

Thanks!
