Anita,

This is difficult to read....Yes, we are warned about treatment side effects, but when they surface, it is difficult to accept. So much energy is spent on getting through treatment and killing the cancer, then facing these serious side effects feels like post traumatic stress.

I see that your husband underwent recent prostatectomy. Coincidently, that was the case with my husband, one year prior to oral Ca diagnosis. He now faces HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) due to dental complications.

As you say, we are grateful for the good years. Aside from eating/swallowing is your husband stable?
