My dad is on day 10 of radiation treatment for brain lesions. He begins chemo for the other cancers (lung, kidney, adrenal gland) on the 13th. Still has five rad sessions.

The docs said he is not able to do both chemo and radiation at the same time.

This morning my mom said he wet himself in bed. He told her he just couldn't get up fast enough to make it to the bathroom.

Is wetting normal? If so, what else can we expect?

He has not yet begun to lose his hair. The radiologist and oncologist said it would begin this week or next.

My dad is 82.
