All / Christine ,

Need help and advise again .
My mom completed her Rads last week . It’s day 10 now and she is at her worst now .

Extremely fatigued, severe mucositis pain . Intake is a huge problem and she is suffering from severe constipation and getting medical help from hospital every 3 days for that .

I talked to her onco radiologist today and he said she should be completely fine in a week .

Please let me know what is realistic timeline ?

We are giving her soft foods and smoothies . Is there anything specific that will help her heal faster ?

Is constipation a common problem after radiation? Her doctor said it is unrelated ..

Any advise is greatly appreciated. I can see she is becoming helpless and depressed .
