Hello,

My father underwent whole brain radiation as a precautionary measure that his brain tumor would not reoccur. During his treatment he started talking confused, and had uncontrollable urinatiing, so I attended a visit with his onocologist and asked him could this be side-effects from the radiation. He sat 2 feet away from me and assurred me it was not, he told me that iwas his blood sugar and steriods that were causing this.My father went through 20 treatments onw he lays in a hospital bed in his living room.My husband,kids,and I went to visit yesterday he doesn't talk, he cannot feed himself, he cannot use a bedpan, he just lays their and looks at you like he wants ot say something. My father now is cancer free and in this state.I wish I would have been more informed, my dad is 68 and the kindest man you could ever meet, and I miss him.

Brenda
