Hello - I have not posted before but have been reading from the site on almost a daily basis since I found it. You are a truly wonderful, knowledgable and resourceful group of people. Thank you for all the information and insights you have so generously provided.


My husband has stage III/IV of the left tonsil and is just past the halfway mark of his scheduled treatment - 35 doses IMRT and 3 chemo cycles (cisplatin). I know from reading the postings of others that there is a whole litany of potential problems that can rear their head during treatment. However, I haven't really seen much about heartburn. My husband had his second cycle of cisplatin on Tuesday afternoon ( just over 2 days ago) and has been having terrible heartburn all day.

He has a feeding tube and has only been able to take 3 cans today because he feels so uncomfortable.

Has anyone experienced heartburn related to some aspect of the treatment? If so, did you find a way to relieve it?

Thanks a lot.
Mary
