Radiation treatments are no picnic! They get progressively more difficult as time goes on. he hardest part is the first 2 weeks after rads ends. Best thing to do is focus on what is within your control, your husbands intake. Every single day he needs to take in at the bare minimum 2500 calories and 48-64 oz of water. This needs to be done until he hits the 1 year post rads mark. Going thru radiation treatments burns up calories at a very fast rate. His intake is what will make this whole thing easier or harder than it has to be. If he begins to have issues swallowing, encourage him to take small sips thru out the day to keep those muscles active and functioning.

Hang in there! We are in your corner and will help you both get thru this. Be good to yourself, being a caregiver is a tough job.
