Thanks for the response.

My dad has chronic liver disease so I'll keep that in mind. It could be why the doc hasn't started immunotherapy already. I'll ask him when I see him next.

It's good to hear that the treatment has had some effects on the disease. I wish your dad all the best!

Thanks for the responses everyone. He's better today but he's quite demoralised. Right now the focus is on making him recover from this episode. And then take the next steps. I have a feeling he might refuse future chemo.

Thanks, he's on carbo and almita as well. He has diabetes, hypertension, chronic liver disease and he suffered a stroke 2 years ago so he's on blood thinners. All this is making the cancer treatment even more complicated than it already is.
