Hi everyone!
My husband has just finished 7 weeks of radiation and 3 doses of cysplatin after a partial glossectomy, neck dissection, and reconstruction with forearm free flap.
James had his last chemo on Tuesday and his last radiation treatment Thursday. On Saturday, he started feeling really bad, in a lot of pain. His radiation oncologist said the next 10 days would be tough, but I'm looking for any advice or words of wisdom.
He's having a very difficult time drinking anything. He has a g-tube, but everytime he uses it, it makes him very nauseous a short time later and he ends up vomiting most of what he's taken in. I told him last night that he needed to get something in, but putting anything in his mouth is unbearable, and using the tube makes him very sick. He did manage to get in some Gatorade through the tube.
I know he is very tired and frustrated right now. I would love to share with him any thoughts you all might have. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
