Thats just BS Rett!!!

My husband was determined to work all day and have his rads late afternoon,and switched all his schedule to accomodate his treatment.He lasted 4 days.he was burnt both inside and outside of his mouth and neck,he couldnt eat or drink,swallow or speak.
he had a peg tube fitted at 14 days after losing massive amounts of weight in the first two weeks,he had thrush in the first week.

NO ONE CAN SAY DEFINITAVELY HOW THE TREATMENT WILL AFFECT HIM.

Rob was ginger haired with fair skin and we thought that may be why he took it so badly,but at the end of the day i dont know why,and neither does anyone else.some people are lucky enough to sail through with little in the way of side effects,and some are most definately not.I have sent you a post of mine that i submitted which will let you see how bad it was for him.
