rinksgal Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Well the Oncologists office called today, we have an appointment to see him tomorrow to find out what kind of treatment they plan to do, now that my s/o's cancer is back in his mediastinum area in his lymph nodes They called to set up an appointment for Thursday for him to see the radiation oncologist. So does this mean they are probably gonna do radiation on him????? We still go see the oncologist tomorrow. What kind of side effects can this give him??? How many treatments do they give for this and how is it given? also I want to add, I keep reading different post, about people losing their voice with radiation. Could this happen to my s/o, or where did these people receive their radiation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christymike Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I dont think that losing your voice is a side effect from radiation.. i think that is a mistake if that happens. but i dont really know for sure.

norme Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 My Buddy had to have a nerve that goes to the voice box clipped during surgery to get the left lobe out, he speaks with a very low voice now. It had nothing to do with the radiation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
