hello,
i am caregiver to my husband del, and i have a question; after tx.(chemo/ rad.35 tx. finished 2 months ago)he developed a headache that has not gone away, requiring more pain medication (fentanyl, oxycodone). i am concerned, has anyone encountered this?? also, he can sip water, but has been unable to swallow without pain since treatment. he is on tube feeds via peg. is this unusual? how long is too long before swallowing function is lost??
thank you all
