Went to the radiologist today with my dad. He has stage T-IV. We were told it is a very rapid growing cancer. Dad will receive 7 weeks of radiation 5x a week a with chemo once a week. Goes for masking tomorrow and brain and chest scans. On Thursday he will get the PEG tube put in. He will start treatment next week . The doctor told us about some of the side effects he will be experiencing including tissue breaking away,fatigue,thrush, and possible the skin on his neck opening up and draining. Can anyone help me with any info. on the side effects especially the thrush?

Thank You,
Mare
P.S. I am a only child and any support and advice you could give me is greatly appreciated.
