Hi, my father is undergoing chemo and radiation treatment. The radiation is daily on his chest (left lobe, station 4 and 7 lymphnodes). He also just started his second cycle of chemo (cisplatin). He is having difficulty swallowing both food and liquids. The pain seems to be in the middle of his chest under his sternum. Even a glass of water is hard for him to get down. Any tips on helping this issue?
Also, he has some uncomfortable taste in his mouth too that he cant seem to get rid of as well if there are any tips for that, but the swallowing is the main concern.
Thank yo
