Hi everyone,
My dad was diagnosed with SCC tonsil cancer in October 2023 and was operated on in November 2023 having a tonsillectomy, neck dissection. He had 5 chemo sessions and 30 radio sessions. Unfortunately before the last session of chemo he had neutropenic sepsis. We are 7 weeks post treatment (8 weeks this week) and he began slowly eating again and has been doing so and was doing really well and even had a good English breakfast! The last few days he has felt tired, not really an appetite and not really wanting to do anything and he feels down because he started off really well and feels now he isn’t. Prior a few days before this, he does some jobs such as tree cutting and plastering. Is it normal to start to recover and then have a dip? Because he is feeling a bit down. Any feedback/advice would be appreciated to give him a boost :)
