Tuesday is my husband's 6 week post-radiation check-up, and I'm so worried I can't even stand it. He has improved, but his throat is still very sore and he's still not eating enough, which makes me question how well he's really doing. I was worried during treatment of course, but at least we were doing something to address the problem. Now it's just waiting to see if it worked! I know he's worried too: the more worried he is, the more nocturnal he becomes -- he is almost a bat now. I would truly appreciate any advice on how to cope and help my husband to cope with the anxiety over the next few days. Thanks!!
