Ray,
Hang in there buddy. You have come to the hard part, and for me, it got a little harder once the radiation treatments stopped and I was hanging around the house, after being treated twice a day.
It does get better...it just takes a little time.I know that you have a lot of faith, so try and keep the faith.
Once the treatment ends, try and find a support group or a CancerCare organization that will send you a mentor. I found a local organization that offered 6 free sessions with a private psychologist/counselor for cancer patients. Also consider getting anti-depressants if it gets really bad.
Take care Ray,
Danny G.
