Hi All,

My husband, Ron, is 2 months post radiation treatments on his throat. No surgery or Chemo. Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that when he's sleeping, it seems like he stops breathing for awhile and then he will take some deep breaths. Plus his breathing sounds weird, not regular snorring. It almost sounds like his airway gets plugged up (he's been sleeping with his mouth open). This pattern keeps going on and for some reason it seems to be worse between 3am to 4:30 am. After that it stops and he seems to start sleeping normally. But during that time, I can't sleep because I'm making sure he's breathing. I have heard something about sleep apnea occuring after radiation ended. He sees his Doctor next week so I'm going to make sure he asks, but wanted to know if any of you experienced this and did it eventually go away? Should we be concerned?

Thanks for your help,

Shelley
