Hi, Jac. It would be helpful if you could give us some time frames, like when your hubby's surgery was done,[it helps to know where he might be in the healing process. Also, What kind of radiatio and chemo is he having- how often for each? You are both in for a tough few months, but hopefully he will come through this well. Is your calendar clear? Will you be his primary caregiver? Do you have any family to help you? You are likely to have alot of responsibility over the next months. [and additional stress]. As to getting vague answers from the Docs and nurses- that is par for the course. First of all, no onae can say for sure how a patient will react to radiation and or chemo. It makes some people really sick, others do pretty well. My suggestion to you is to read all you can here about what folks have experienced during rad tx. and chemo- not to scare you, but to prepare you for what you need to be looking out for during his treatments. For me, it was far less scary to be forewarned and somewhat armed with some basic knowledge of what could happen. Please do keep posting. You will get very good support here. Best wishes. Amy in the Ozarks
