Has he had any temperature evelvation? (You should be taking it every day). I ask because Barry had a post-treatment pneumonia which put him into the hospital and he had chest pain (right side) wehen breathing, also lots of mucous (suddenly, after it had been gone for a while). It was diagnosed by xray -- a few days of antibiotics and he was ready to go home but it took several weeks to fully clear and some scarring in right pulmonary area showed up when he got the PET/CT scan.

Post-treatment infections are not uncommon, we were told, and should be treated vigorously.
