Welcomr to the Oral Cancer Foundation Deborah,

Sounds like everything that can go wrong is. He is going thru the roughest part of treatment right now. At times it feels like it will last foreever, it doesn't!!! There is light at the end of the tunnel, you may not see it yet but you will soon.
Being a caregiver is almost as diffucult as being the patiant. Hang in there knowing you can post any question you can think of here. Someone with similer treatment will respond.

The effects from radiation usually continue for a few weeks after treatment ends. That is common. The rule of thumb is one month of recovery for each week of treatment.

Many of us have been through what he is going thru and survived, He can to!!!

Please keep us posted as you both travel down this rocky road.
