Hi there a relative of mine was recently diagnosed with myxofibrosarcoma, they had 5 weeks of radiotherapy which unfortunately did not work, they then had 3 weeks high intensity radiotherapy crammed in to 1 week and they are feeling really miserable, constantly sleeping, in bed about 23 hours a day and not eating at all, I'm just wondering is this normal? None of us have ever been through anything like this before. The person is over 70 also. Any help would be very much appreciated
