Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | My son (7 years out from end of Tx) just got his CPAP today. Doctor (who knows about his OC history) told him he had Central Sleep Apnea (not from the obstructive kind). I'm worried since the cause for this as mentioned on the Mayo Clinic site says it can be due from heart failure or stroke. So is the Central Sleep Apnea also a result of Rad Tx?
I sure hope something happens to make things easier for all the OC survivors experiencing this. Brian, do you manage somehow to get some sleep?
