Okay, I know it's important not to panic but I am extremely worried about John's symptoms right now. He's about 7 weeks post chemo/radiation and he seems to be doing a lot worse- especially in the last 2 weeks.

Immediately after treatment he was very sick for about three weeks, however, by week 4 and 5 - his energy was steadily improving. He was strong enough to go visit friends for an hour each week and do some driving without being especially tired.

Suddenly, halfway through week 5, post-treatment, he became exhausted, his face started swelling overnight ( although people here and his doctor has explained that symptom)and his voice became significantly lower and stratchy. He saw the RO last week who said all this was normal.

But this past week he has complained of pain in his middle left-side back upon waking ( not every day but most days) and this morning he said the pain was in left chest, under his arm and in his middle back. As usual, when he gets up and walks around the pain subsides and he only has it when he wakes up.

These last few days he's mostly been exhausted(one good day in a week), having a new series of mucous attacks - similar to post chemo times- and has a small light frequent cough which he says is from the mucous. He also has stopped eating much by mouth because he feels queasy so often. He was up to about 1/3 of his nutrition by mouth by week 5 post treatment.

John has a 7 week post treatment CT scan on Wednesday with an appointment to discuss scan results a few days later.

He doesn't want to bother any of his doctors at this point because we'll be meeting with both the RO and MO in a week. But I am worried that he might have an infection. If it's something a lot worse I guess waiting wouldn't matter at this point.

Any thoughts or comments?
