Terri, there are a million stories from those of us who have already gone thru rads. Not everyone will respond the same way. A positive attitude will greatly help him to get thru this easier. The most important thing is good hydration and nutrition. The common link Ive seen with people who sail right thru it easily is those who have the best nutrition during treatment. He needs a minimum of 48+ oz water daily and 2500+ calories. If he would take in 60 oz of water and 3500 calories it would make a difference than if he only had 36 oz of water and 2000 calories. While fighting cancer, the body burns up calories at an amazing rate. It takes lots of energy to fight. If you want to check out others stories, check out the threads under currently in treatment, there you will find the answers to your questions. It wont be the easiest thing you have ever gone thru together but you guys can do this and will go on to be closer than ever.

Best wishes to you both!
