Welcome Lee Ann!

Your husband is probably felling absolutely horrible right now. The last few rads are the hardest ones to get thru. Unfortunately, radiation will continue working even after the treatments end. The first 2-3 weeks after finishing rads are the worst of the whole thing. Best thing he can do is to make certain his daily intake is at least2500 calories and 48-64 oz of water... every single day!!!. I cant stress enough the importance of his meeting (even better exceeding) the daily intake minimums. If he isnt even close talk to his doc about getting extra hydration. The extra bags of fluids will help your husband to almost instantly feel so much better. Unfortunately if you dont know to ask about this it doesnt usually happen.

Another important thing to be aware of is after the final radiation treatment on Wed, it may feel like you and your husband are abandoned, just sent home. All your husbands medical professionals are still available 24/7 so if theres a problem dont hesitate to call his medical team.

Theres many here who have been where your husband currently is, they can help get you both thru some challenging times. As a caregiver, you have a tough job!!! Take good care of yourself too, if possible make some time just for you to get away and catch your breath.

Best wishes with everything!!!
