Making travel plans when your husband has done 18 rad treatments is very ify. Of course everyone responds in their own way to everything and some sail right thru. For most of us we began feeling pretty lousy about the 3rd or 4th week of rads. Alot of how bad we felt was also due to chemo. Weekly doses of chemo seem to be better tolerated. I was scheduled for 3 big doses of cisplatin. After the first one I felt pretty bad so the second dose was cut way back and the third one canceled. That was just my experiences.

Being younger, he has a good chance of not having such a difficult time. Nutrition and hydration will play a huge role in how he gets thru this. Keeping up with 2500+ calories and 48+ oz of water daily will make help him to get thru it easier. Cant skimp one day thinking to make it up the next, that only leads to becoming malnourished and dehydrated.

I think its a great idea to have goals. Having the graduation to look forward to may give your husband something to work towards. It might help him to stay focused and push him to get the best nutrition and hydration he can. Everybody needs a reason to get up in the morning. Being a parent, seeing your child graduate is something not to be missed. Just be especially careful with germs and using the hand sanitizers as traveling while your immune system is low is risky.
