Welcome Nate's mom! Yes please stay in contact with this site. And yes, it continues after radiation stops for at least a week or two before the turnaround, but everybody is different and all heal differently. Tell him yes, he will make it thru this, I already told him if my 55 yr old bf made it thru Non Hodgkins Lympmhoa and chemo for 7 months and now this episode with this bout of cancer and 30 days of radiation...he will too! He's a tough Texan! Tell him if he can to keep playing that guitar and listening to his music and whatever else makes him happy and keeps his mind off the crap he's experiencing. And sleep, sleep all he wants and of course keep hydrated like everybody has said and caloric intake at the highest! And you can tell him for me that...my bf has given up I think and I am so proud of Nate to NOT give up and I am rooting for him so much because I have no hope at home and I really don't want to come on here anymore myself but HE was the one that was keeping me coming back to check up on him. Hugs to him from OH IO!
