Hi, I'm 2 weeks after completion of a 7 week intensive ratiotherapy (Mon-Fri) with 2 chemotherapy 10 hour  sessions  (week 1 and week 5) included. 
I was warned to expect things to get worse and start to settle down within a few weeks, I'm currently experiencing quite a traumatic time. Mornings are usually quite harsh, so much phlym that it often causes me to be violently sick, I quite often have blood mixed in with the phlym. One of my main problems is I can't swallow so it's difficult to manage oral pain relief. 
I'm currently using morphine patches to manage pain. 
my wife found this site yesterday and it has really helped just to see we are not alone. 
We are very much managing everything one day at a time.
