Marv, I feel better for you that you’re going to go through treatment, come what may. One never knows. If they are arebgoing to increase the radiation, be prepared to be very fatigued and the mouth to be really dry and sore. Watch out for fevers as they can indicate infection and any swelling in the legs (that may be deep veined thrombosis) my husband got it in both legs. Your Ro should immediately refer you to the thrombosis clinic, or if you are at home, go to the ER ASAP. For some reason, cancer patients get DVT fairly frequently. That’s from our medical oncologist. Stay the cots, we are rooting for you.
