Some of us breeze right through and some have a rough time of it. Looks like Tim is having a very rough time of it. Having said that, he didn't go through all of this just to have the treatment fail. He needs that complete round of radiation. Just 8 to go and he can make it. The worst has arrived and he now knows the animal he is confronting but quiting now could make all the effort and pain to date a waste of effort.
This is where you need to be strong for him and make sure he finishes the treatment.
We are here for you and Tim at any time so don't hesitate in checking in when you need to or just feel like unloading.
Sending a prayer your way.
