My friend also did her radiation at Dana-Farber, and she tolerated it well, the last week being the most difficult. She did have mets to the lymph node in her neck and it did respond well to the radiation.
The Head and Neck Oncology Dept. at Dana Farber is wonderful, don't hesitate to discuss any of your concerns with them.
I hope he decides to do the radiation. And as stated above, use all the alternative therapies offerred there to make it easier on him.
I wish all the best to both of you.
