Hi, I'm Janet and I've been reading the messages for a few weeks. My husband John was recently diagnosed (July 6,05) with left tonsil cancer with one node and no distant mets, had a tonsillectomy (lost 10 pounds), had the mediport implanted (needed a chest tube for a pneumothorax), started chemo 5 days ago (cisplatin)with delayed nausea, has had 4 radiation treatments and a peg tube inserted 2 days ago. He is wiped out, no energy, less nauseous but no appetite at all. He seems very uncomfortable moving around though the tube is good. He complains of a headache - muscle/tension. He is very anxious and feels awful for feeling this bad so early in the treatments. He is miserable except when he is sleeping which is a lot. He is on Ativan. Do others feel this bad this soon in the treatments? We're overwhelmed with what is happening to us so quickly. Thanks for any support offered.
