My hubby had the same cancer just 1 year ago...hang in there! At times you think it will never turn out well (and OMG!) but, at this point, I can say, there are no residual effects that cannot be dealt with. He is doing sooo well, eats just about everything, has no pain, feels great, and looks great! Pain meds helped him get through the worst of it, and if he is having chemo and rads, Zofran was the best for his nausea...they increased the dosage when he needed it near the end of his treatments.
My best wishes to both of you!!!
