Tracy, I wish I could tell you it goes away right away. My dad has been done with treatment for uhhh...2 days now. He feels awful. Take baby steps, one minute at a time. My dad has the same things going on---just stay strong for him. As all the people on here that have actually gone through this, the radiation is "the gift that keeps giving" (Gary said this I think) even when you're done. Those wonderful cumulative effects. BUT they are kill, kill, killing cancer. Keep the pain meds pumping. Try to get a pain consult to come see him. In our experience, they are expert at giving the correct dosing and mixes of things. Today we got to go see our pain specialist so my dad could begin to wean himself off! You will get there too. Again, just keep pumping up your dad!!!! We're here for you guys.
