"OCF across the pond" Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,940 | robin has lost a further 10 lbs since his Radiation finished and this is purely down to the fact that he will not take enough nourishmnet.He gets dizzy and is a litle disorientated at times,and when he starts to feel really ill he goes back on the full routine and within a few days he seems to pick up again.Week three he spent mostly in bed couldnt talk wouldnt drink water and seemed to be fading away.Week 4 he started to attempt solids and he is drinking like a fish.Dont lose hope it will come good in the end.
