Post full head radiotherapy

Good afternoon all

my dad finished full head radiotherapy on Wednesday and has pretty much slept since... has anyone had a family member or has been through this themselves?? We were told he would sleep but we aren't prepared for how much. We have woken him up to eat and drink but he's not eating much. 
Take care

  • Hi Bec and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    Tiredness is a common side effect of radiotherapy as you'll see here but hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will pop by soon to share their advice and experiences with you.

    Our cancer nurses are available for a chat on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to discuss this with them as well.

    I hope things start to improve for your dad soon Bec.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
