He was diagnosed Oct.23, 2003 with T2 scc, he started radiation therapy Dec.29th, scheduled for 30 treatments, had his 18th today. He may also receive brachy therapy after RT. He started Wellbutrin about 2 months prior to dx., tylenol 3 right away, and the morphine patch shortly after that. Thank you Pumpkin for sharing what happened to your dad, I'm really sorry he's having a tough time and hope it will be better for him soon. I've been concerned that this could happen to my dad too.
