Congratulations I know its been a hard road for you. There is still a way to go. Nobody can tell you how long recovery will take because it varies greatly. But its months not weeks, don't have unrealistic expectations (like I did!)

For the past 7 weeks you've been talking to doctors and nurses every day. It is very easy to feel disconnected from the process when you no longer see them daily. Medically he needs to stay on top of the basics. Eating, drinking, toileting, sleeping. Keep on top of the pain management. Most of the side effects he'll have to deal with he's already familiar with, and some will get a little worse in the next week or two. Stay on top of the basics and keep in touch with the doctors.

The hard work is done. Its not over, but the worst of it is. No more chemo, no more being strapped down for rads. I hope you kept his mask. Some people throw them away. Mine sits on top of the fridge behind my bar at home, there is one hell of a story attached to it when people ask.

Celebrate the victory today, you both earned it.
