Im really sorry to hear you arent feeling better yet. Are you able to get your insurance to cover a visiting nurse? Do you have a peg tube to help get nutrition? Im glad to see you have been back to the doctors. Dont let this get the best of you, keep going back if you dont feel well.
Your treatments havent ended that long ago where your body is still recovering. Try not to get discouraged. Radiation can take many months after treatment ends to feel almost back to normal again. Hope you feel better very soon.
