He is about 2 weeks post radiation. One of his problems that I did not see mentioned on your forum is "sweats". It scares him when he breaks out in a sweat for no apparent reason. These don't last long and he has no fever. I try to reassure him but we have no experience to draw upon. By the way, I stumbled onto your site while trying to find another answer to one of his questions. What a great site. Perhaps we will be able to share and help someone like you have already helped us. Thank you Meredith | | |

The Onc. said it was a side effect of the chemo, even though he is done with the treatment side effects can go on for quite a few months we have been told. They said it would be a good year before he would feel himself. My husband was on Cispatin during his radiation.
