I think I'm just about to run out of possible new side effects. For those with a cruel sense of humor, you'll get a kick out of this one. I was told that I could lose my hair in the treatment area. Sure enough, the hair behind my ear is falling out... in small wads. Since it's behind my ear, no biggie. But... the skin flap, my new skin, from my thigh is now growing hair. O--M--G!!! I'm going to count on radiation zapping that hair too. And, no, it's really not noticeable unless you are looking up close & personal.
This morning I escaped a wave of nausea, but it was replaced with very a painful sore on my tongue (way in the back, on the right side at the base). Made swallowing a HUGE challenge. Not good if they want me to continue eating & drinking for the next 4 weeks. Well, I took a couple of Advil and thankfully, that managed the pain enough for me to get down my lunch. Whew! It's several hours later and it's still tolerable. I did take a Tylenol to be on the safe side.
(BTW, if you are reading this, please sign the comments -- I'm just curious.)
