Hi Mare,
I just finished 2 Cisplatin chemo and 33 radiation treatments and my skin reacted much like a sunburn - it peeled and was the first thing to heal. I spend a lot of my time in bed and sleep a lot. My energy level has improved a little since treatment was over. I have had thrush twice (late during treatment) and I just take Diflucan, right a way, for a week and it goes away. The mouth sores (radiation burns) on my tongue cause me the worst problems. I still have tissue sloughing off in the back of my throat. He'll have some passable days and a few very bad days but it sure beats the alternative. Just take it one day at a time. It does help to have the meds ready before you need them. Pain management, antiemetics, laxatives, Diflucan, etc.
