Hi Debbie,
Congratulations to Pat for getting the radiation! It sounds like he is doing really well. Simon alternated between chills where he couldn't get warm, and then heavy night sweats. He's waiting for tests to come back to see if his thyroid is out of whack due to radiation. He, like many on the forum was on a cocktail of medications, including some happy pills and the patches. His wife is a nurse and she believes his chills and sweats are at least in part to do with coming off the Fentanyl patches.

Simon is about at the same stage as Pat. His last rad was 9/11/11. He says his worst experience by far, has been the dreadful bout of constipation the first week or two after he finished. I think it's due to the Fentanyl, and even if Pat hasn't experienced it, watch for it and take preventative measures. Have a wonderful holiday !!
