I don’t know if he will get the same thing or not but along with the chemo they gave my wife a medicine to boost her white blood cell count. It caused intense pain for her for a day. She was very sensitive to different food smells so I wouldn’t cook anything with a strong scent. She had decreased appetite so you might have to make him eat to keep up his strength. If I think of more I’ll let you know. She needed lots of rest the first few days after.
