Both of you hang in there. You have a ways to go and it will seem like forever but it will get better around the 2nd to 3rd week after RT ends. I assume he is getting IMRT. What about chemo? There are many things that may help him and you through this dark tunnel so don't hestitate to ask anything and everything.
We are all here to help in anyway we can.
