I have had 5 days of radiation and 1 chemo treatment in my first week. I have oropharyngeal cancer. My mouth is beginning to get dry and I am trying some Biotene which helps a great deal. The 2 days after the chemo I have had diarrhea and episodes of hiccups. I knew the diarrhea could happen but the hiccups were a surprise. I still have an appetite but noticed my desire for coffee is gone. I know it will get much worse and am trying to get many things done before it sets in. the fatigue is a big factor after treatments. I am just trying to take it one day at a time. Suzanne
