Add me to the list of those who are astounded that his medical team isn't doing more to stay on top of this. Even though I didn't lose a great deal of weight during radiation, my radiation team had regular meetings with me to review in detail what I was getting for daily nutrition and to do what they could to ease my eating problems.
The effects of radiation can linger for weeks (sometimes months) after the last dose is administered, so it's really critical to try to get his doctors and nurses to start turning this situation around now.
