I had cancer surgery 5 weeks ago. All went well. 3 weeks ago I thought I came down with a bad head cold, sore throat, cough. Now Im still coughing (croupy sounding), blowing my nose and fatigue with a metalic taste in my mouth more like allergies. I start radiation tomorrow. How concerned should I be with this going on?
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I want to make one thing clear that radiation therapy depends upon the concerned doctor. If he thinks, that you are a fir case for radiotherapy then please get it done. You haven't mentioned the site of cancer and type of cancer. As far as concerned about cough, sore throat bad headache, metallic tests may be due to infection, due to Chat Doctor.  Consult your treating doctor and get his opinion, that is the best for you. Good luck.
