Hello, we just completed our second week of chemo & rad.
She has 30 rad (once daily for 6 weeks)& I believe Chemo every 4 weeks. My question is shes complaining obviously about her throat & airway being constricted.
Since this is only the second week, will she eventually have to go back with a trach to keep breathing? or will her throat swelling stay about the same through the rad.
Her doc said everything looked great today, but she's miserable as I believe anyone would under these circumstances.
