Got a call into the Dr supposed to call me back! Has anyone had this kind of reaction to radiation. His tumor in tonsil area and 2 lymph nodes. they are radiating all the way around the neck though. His next 11 treatments will be focused on the tumor only so he is almost finished has had 28 rads so far! Thought I would see what you have to say while I wait on dr to call me back!
Thanks in advance
Terry

    I talked to Doctor he said nothing ER can do unless trouble breathing which is not the case Just can't talk or swallow now. Dr said the only option would be to postpone his treatment for rest of week and start back Monday. Dave said he may do it and skip the chemo in the morning too. He must be feeling pretty bad to stop now. I wish someone could find a better way to treat this crap!!!!
