So sorry to hear that - I can only imagine how exhausted you both are - I would seek out the oncologist as much as I could and discuss things going forward. Sure you have probably done that but he has to help decide the next step. He is so close to finishing radiation - Be strong and I will keep you and your family in my prayers
