I imagine it was poorly differentiated on biopsy. 5 weeks from surgery sounds about right for rads. It will definitely be a long haul. but you will get through it. Tell your hubby to eat as much as possible now. Gain weight if he can. Rads takes a toll on your ability to eat.
Read up and educate yourself. There are a lot of things that can help with the symptoms and fall out from treatment.
hugs and let go of your anger. education is your best weapon. take care
