I've read a lot on here from people going through radiation treatment, but any pointer would be great.

We got a few questions answered today. I even got to voice my concerns. We heard info we wanted to hear and some we didn't, but info non-the-less. We got to see pics of PET and ct. So that was good. Thanks again for listening.

    Radiation
    My husband Jim just finished 27 IMRT radiation treatments. He was very fatigued by the radiation. He also had burns on his back from the radiation to his chest area. He did the radiation and chemotherapy at the same time. We had two special lotions that they used for the burns on his back. They are doing much better now. He also had pain where they radiated. He had trouble swallowing towards the end of his series of radiation. I hope this helps.

    This is a wonderful site full of great information. We are all in this together!

    God bless,

    Linda
