If he only just finished his rad on 4/27 you should realize that the 2 to 3 weeks post Tx are the worse for just about everyone. I ended up in the hospital for 3 days in my 2nd weeks post Tx for serious fluids and foods. I thought I wouldn't make it because of the pain and nausea. Nothing stopped my nausea, nothing. I stopped taking all meds and fought thru the pain and the nausea went away. I also found Carnation IB VHC and by the end of my 3rd week I felt like I was going to make it, like I finally walked out of the tunnel.
