My boyfriend starts radiation tonight. Was supposed to be yesterday but, he couldn't do it. He is very panicked even after xanax and norco. We have 8 weeks of this. He can't medicate everyday for that long. He has a lot of congestion on a regular basis so, with the mouth trays and the positioning, he has a hard time breathing. Any other ideas? He has music...
