Mickey,
While I was going through treatment with radiation and chemo I had the awful side effect of heartburn/acid reflux. The radiation burned my esophagus to the point that if I do not keep the acid reflux at bay I may need to have something done. I am on acid refulx meds daily now. I know when I forget it too. I never had this problem until radiation started.
