The effects of radiotherapy

Less than one minute read time.

Hi everyone

My partner has recently finished 5 weeks of radiotherapy treatment.  Since finishing he has been unable to get out of bed.  He is constantly tired and has slept for 4 days.  He has no appetite and has developed a cough, which he didnt have before.  He has pain in his gullet which he didnt have before (he has OC diagnosed  8 months ago).  I am worried that he hasnt eaten much for 4 days and has lost about half a stone in such a short period of time.  Throughout the radiotherapy treatment, he coped very well, and it is only now that I see the effects.  Is this normal?

    Thank you all for your comments.  Kenny had also sailed through chemo and the start of the RT, so I suppose I am taking this badly.  It hurts to see him so weak.  However, let's hope that once the side effects wear off we will see a difference.  

    Love to you all,
