Hi Cindy, I think your husband is losing his directions now suffering from physical and mental pain. My original plan was 42 rounds of radiation and when there were about 6 left, my neck was burnt already and I suffered from high fever. I was admitted to hospital for hydration, blood transfusion and antibiotics.Every time the nurse brought a wheel chair near my bed, I knew it was time for me to take the 'punishment'. I didn't resist because I knew very well to go or not to go simply means to live or not to live! I was a submissive patient and never brought trouble to my oncologist until the day when my oncologist told me that he needed to add 6 more rounds of radiation. I cried and said no but I had no choice because my oncologist said that the boost was necessary due to my very advanced stage. Missing that may lead to my regret in life. So with tears I lay on the radiation bed and even the radiologist shook his head when seeing my bruised, bleeding neck tightly fastened with the mask.He said my oncologist was too harsh and unkind to me.But now I am so grateful to my oncologist whom I respect as my life saver. Hurdles were mountainous and I never thought I could surpass them.My husband and the 2 sons were a great incentive for me not to give myself up.Somehow your husband and you together with the doctors can arrive at a compromise on how things can move on to the benefit of your husband's health.I believe there must be a way.Encouragement and support are most important now, Cindy.

Karen.
