He has gotten thru it very easily. When I went thru it, about week 3 I was a mess only to go even more downhill. For most of us the first 2 to 3 weeks after finishing radiation are the worst. Dont be surprised if he loses his voice for a little while.
From what Ive read from the Manuka honey users on the forum, its never to late to use it. Give it a try. Hope it works!!!!
Take it day by day. Keep up with the nutrition and your husband will bounce back. One day he will wake up and feel almost like a real person again. Thats when he will know he is better. It will be ups and downs for the net month or 2 but soon the good days will outnumber the bad ones.
Hang in there!!!!
