Hi Cindy,
Well if he has finally 'fallen into to WEB', maybe you can get him to log on to this site and get some support and info. Pain is not good, but it is good to have it checked out. I think if he finds out he is not the only one with this cancer by logging on here, he may become a more responsive patient. Going thru this treatment is not fun, going thru it alone is terrifying. Push him to visit this site and maybe finding others with the same problems will help him.

Take care,
Eileen
