deb,

Not much to say that already hasnt.

Except this.

You might want to tell him this:

He has reached the point in the treatment where he wont feel any worse by continuing. As bad as he feels right now, is as bad as he is going to feel.

AND, he is going to feel that way for a while weather he finishes or not.

So, for the sake of the family, for the sake of your life, for the sake of your marrige,
get the two more treatments.

I know. I felt exactly the same way. Thats what my doctors told me and it worked. And here I am two years later able to tell my story. Also, Get some stronger pain meds ASAP.

Peace and love to you and yours.
