Hi Shelley,

Welcome to OCF. Such good information you have already received from Gary, Bob and David. Yes, the radiation treatments were brutal and nasty. They were/are for all of us, and they are lifesavers. Kudos to your husband for having caught the beast early and doing something about it. Make sure you keep his nutrition at as high a level as he can possibly stand. As I am sure you have already read, this forum is also for you and what you are going thru. Don't hesitate to ask about anything that either your husband or yourself are experiencing.

God Bless you both and good luck

Jack
