I can really symphatize wih Worried Mom since I am a worried mom, too and we both have adult children at about the same stage. My son's radiation treatment ended on December 19th. He doesn't have a feeding tube and he is experiencing a LOT of pain. He saw his surgeon today and they took him off the Hydrocodone and said that the "pain management team" were getting together to decide how to help him manage the pain but that it will be two weeks before they get back to him. He's taking a lot of Ibuprofen and I worry about the effects on his liver. He's drinking a 350 calorie drink plus Gatorade and tries other stuff like grilled cheese or soup but doesn't eat much of it. Can't seem to find the Carnation VHC (560 cal) around here but still looking. The posts on this page are really helpful and I've printed out this page and will give it to him when he wakes up. He doesn't sleep much at night and altho' he's only complete two weeks of the post treatment it seems like a whole lot longer. I hope he does start to feel better soon and I hope for the same for Worried Mom's daughter, too. Thanks so much for all the positive posts.
