Yes, I was in the hospital fordehydration during the longest period of radiation which I had, 33 rad treatmennts. About halfway through, developed fever of 102-103 and open blisters in the rad area. So the radiation oncologist admitted me for 48 hours for rehydration and treatment with IV antibiotics as the blood work showed a sepsis of some sort. I do remember this period of time as being about the most ill I have ever been throughout the course of cancer treatment. After two days with IVs in-hospital and 14 days at home on two different kinds of antibiotic, I felt pretty well. Are you having problems with dehydration during your rads?
