Hello everyone.
My friend is in his 3rd week of radiation now and is doing really well. The problem which is upsetting him is that he is losing his hair on the back of his head....in the middle...not the top or sides or by neck area. It is a huge bald spot.

Has anyone else experienced this?

For the person that has been getting dehydrated and finding it hard to eat or swallow, try Ensure Plus or Boost. It works and they have different flavors. It is best to drink everything with a straw.

For the person experiencing lots of pain, ask the doctor for a prescription for morphine or percocet.
