Just to let all of great OCF members know:
My husband has completed all of his radiations and his chemo yesterday. Thank god.
Now the home care starts. Keeping fingers crossed for a faster recovery.
Have a question- Doctors have said the pain will shoot up for another 10-12 days before it starts to settle down. Has any one experienced something similar. Please advice. From today he is also experiencing throat pain which was never there before. Even the blood is coming out of his mouth when he spits. Pain has significantly increased.
Thanks.
