Hello,
I went thru the radiation and it is very bad. As for your Dad quitting, I am not sure. I know I was so sick I quit drinking and eating and ended up with a feeding tube in the hospital for a week. That was in 97, I have had cancer twice since, but only surgery. A lot better. Bless your Dad, I hope he is better.
