Many of us have written detailed summaries of what we went through during treatment in the Currently in Treatment forum. It will do a lot toward educating you as to what your husband will face and side effects he will encounter during treatment.

Mine is found on page 5 of that forum if you are interested, entitled Old B-52 Bombardier #2. Many other worth reading treatment threads are there also.

I hope my previous post wasn't too upsetting, but now is the time for you to be strong.
