Well my friend has now finished his rad and they didn't do his last chemo. Had a pretty rough time. was hospitalized twice with fevers of unknown origins and had to get a PEG midway thru as he had already lost 25 lbs of non existent "excess" weight. Only ended up 10 lbs light so the PEG worked. Problem is he's back in hospital with a fever of unknown origin which his rad doc tells him that is common for this type of Tx.

Now in all my years on this site I really don't remember any, although that doesn't mean any, that have had as a common problem of this Tx "fevers of unknown origins".

Anyone else experienced this side effect? If so what did your doc say about it?
