This site is devoted to helping people like you and your husband in your battle with cancer. We have all been there as patients or caregivers. Please use this site often and ask any and I mean ANY question that pops into your heads. With the tremendious experience available on this site you will get quick responses.
Tell us more about the Rad Tx he will receive; when it will start; what type(s) of chemo, etc.
Hang in there. We all know your world has been turned upside down and things look dark right now. Educating yourself about this cancer and it's treatments will certainly help your mental state which is surely a prominent part of this battle.
