Good morning, all.
This has been a rough weekend, and I am curious if anyone had problems with muscle spasms during treatment?
Tom had his PEG placed on Tuesday - on Wednesday, his back began to ache. On Thursday, it was a bit worse, and on Friday it was very bad....brought tears to his eyes. He said it felt as if two knives were being shoved into his lower back in the kidney area. It hurts him to move even a little -or if he coughs. We made the 90 minute ride to radiation, and they were concerned just looking at him. He insisted they do the treatment after the long ride. They did it, then sent us to emergency where we spent the next 5 hours. He was x-rayed and his blood and urine were checked; nothing (thank Goodness) was found. He is wondering this morning if the radiation could cause anything like this.

I'm hoping for a better day.
