My husband had radiation therapy and finished his treatments in September of 2013. He has since developed severe numbness in his face and mouth, swelling of his hands and terrible joint pain in his shoulders, and joints. He has seen neurologist, rheumatologist and of course his medical and radiation oncologist. No one can seem to fix this problem. He still has his feeding tube and can not eat by mouth. The rheumatologist has put him on Lyrica and Plaquenil for 3 months and told us that if this doesn't work she suggested going to Mayo Clinic. We are at the end of our ropes here so can anyone shed some light on what exactly is going on with him. The doctors just don't seem to have any answers.
Thanks so much!
