Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 1,275 Likes: 8 | My husband had earaches, both before the treatment (the cancer was causing it), then after his first radiation session and his first chemo the next day. It was so bad they had to give him an oxycodone. The RO explained that it was probably the result of some swelling after the Rx. Then over the weekend, the earache went away. John was not taking the codeine he was given because he felt it was not doing much for the sore throat. The RO suggested he try as it would 'take the edge off' so that he could cope better.
