Jan,
My diagnosis and treatment were almost identical to your husband's. I have said many times on this board...the absolute worst time for me was when I finished my radiation. You ring the bell, smile and head home after going to radiation treatment every day and then twice a day. You expect that things can only look up from here. Unfortunately, the radiation keeps on working on you ( sort of like a microwave ) after treatment ends, and for most of us, we enter our most difficult period. I was nauseous once or twice then and felt depressed and bad generally.

The good news is that it starts getting better and your husband will be much improved in a couple of weeks.

Best of luck
Dann G.
