My docs also told me just cuz I wasnt going to radiation doesnt mean it stopped. The radiation continues working after he has finished treatments. This isnt something that is cut and dried. Most people begin to feel a little better after 2 to 3 weeks post treatment. Most important is nutrition, hydration and rest right now. Best of luck to your husband with his speedy recovery.
