My Mom asked me to post and ask what to expect post treatments for my Dad. Hopefully, he will only have about another week of rad/chemo. He is having a hard time right now, not being able to swallow, dry mouth, spitting up, nothing tastes good in his mouth, not getting enough in his PEG, depression...you name it. Mom just feels like she needs to be prepared. Its been so hard on her. Thanks everyone for always being so helpful! smile
