I remember the first few days after I finished treatment. I was mad because I felt worse!! Then I saw my doc again and he prescribe some stronger meds that helped me turn the corner quickly.

Of course, there were some very strong pain meds -- morphine, pain patches, etc. (watch out for constipation!!).

But the thing that really helped me was some kind of steroid they gave me (can't remember the name off hand). LIterally within a day or two, a lot of my mucous problems cleared up to where I could sleep through the night rather well, whereas before I was getting up every hour or two and gagging on all my junk... You might want to ask about that kind of steroid...

Don't forget to celebrate like heck because it's only going to get better in the weeks ahead after this last little dip...
