skp07,
You're husbands case sounds like mine, even the age. Mine was on the right side mid jugular, the radiation was concentrated in my throat from Tonsils to Larynx. Just get through each day. Focus on the goal, just get it done and over. Delay the patches if you can, they add a lot of complications when you try to get back to "normal". I finished radiation a year ago August 9, and my unkown primary is still, thankfully unknown.

Best Wishes
