Hi Robin - welcome to the family. I understand your worry about your father. However being just 32 days post radiation treatment he is still in the window for having significant side effects. Many people don't start noticeably improving until later than your father is right now. So, what I am telling you (and him) is to keep the faith.

How good a treatment facility did your father go too for radiation. I dont want to put down the facility or doctor, it's just that some are way better than others. We always try to get our members to use a comprehensive cancer center (CCC) if at all possible as those people are the best in the country at what they do.

You can always go for a 2nd opinion from another doctor. It may not be necessary for your father but it almost always makes the patient feel better, especially if they were worried in the first place.

Tell us a little more about your dad, his age, smoker or non-smoker, previous history of cancer; things like that. We aren't looking for personal information, just general so we will have an idea where he fits into our picture.

Good luck with all this Robin, we are here to help you both get through this.

Tony
