I finished radiation 4 months ago and I can tell you that it DOES get much better but it takes time. I can also tell you that it won't go back to "normal", you will find a new normal that you can live with. I wouldn't believe a couple months ago that I would feel as good as I do today, so tell your husband to hang in there and give himself the time his body needs to heal.
SCC Left Mandible. Jaw replaced with bone from leg. Neck disection, 37 radiation treatments. Recurrence 8-28-07, stage 2, tongue. One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
