Every single person who goes thru this is going to have their own unique reactions to medications, treatments, etc. Some will sail right thru rads barely noticing anything more than being a bit fatigued. Others will struggle almost every day. One commonality I see in most patients is that 2 to 3 weeks after they finish radiation they finally begin to feel a little better. Nutrition and hydration are the key to having an easier time. I spent way too many days stuck in the hospital due to a lack of a caregiver helping me with my intake. I can only hope to spare others from that same fate by being a broken record about hydration and nutritional minimums every single day. It really will make a huge difference in how you feel.

John, by posting this topic here on the OCF forum, it has the potential to help hundreds of patients. It will remain here for years to come and show up in search engines all over the internet. This is why its so much better to have the responses noted on this thread than on a private email where no other patients can see it.
