Hi,
I'm now about 10 weeks post radiation (6 1/2 weeks worth). While some days were definitely not better than the one previous , I felt like I was making steady progress each week: more energy, better swallowing, removal of feeding tube, back at work some, etc., although virtually nothing in the way of taste.
This past week, I've regressed. Couple of days, I just couldn't get out of bed, loss of whatever appetite I had, headache, upset stomach, diahrea, etc. About the same time, I stopped taking the liquid oxycodeine/acetominophen mix (5/235 mg) I had been taking for the past 16 weeks, every 4-6 hours. Is it possible that I'm experiencing withdrawal effects, or do some weeks post-radiation simply suck? Thanks, Sheldon
