Hi champ . I just went through a similar situation and chemo and radiation work hand in hand . I didn't have any problems with the targeted chemo but the radiation is extreme . As one of the other gentlemen said , unless he is already heavy , get him fattened up . By week 5 of radiation you really don't want to eat so the weight just falls of . This will go on for approximately 6 weeks after week 5 . Taste buds become null . Nothing tastes like it should and you tend to live on a liquid diet . For me , i didnt want a peg , so i forced myself to eat and got through it . Hope this helps and if you need more info let me know . Vinnie
