Markus,
I keep hearing this message over and over again on this board. Right now I can't imagine it getting any worse but I know it does. His RO said halfway through treatment it doesn't get any worse than this. I looked at him like he was crazy. I have read this forum for months now and no one has validated that. Quite the opposite. He also said last week that he should be able to swallow again in a week and a half after treatment is over. Has anyone here recovered that quickly? My step daughter was with him at that appt and when she told me that I laughed out loud. I am beginning to wonder about the RO. What bold (stupid) statements he is making.

What kind of things happen after treatment is over?
Thanks,
valerie
