I am not familiar with your husband's type of cancer (okay...I'll confess that I don't know what a partoid gland is!) but I have been through radiation and know what that is all about. I'm sure you will find someone here who can be more help to you - just wanted to say welcome.
And of course you're scared! Who wouldn't be? We are a great source of support - we've walked this road too - just post any questions you have.
It would be helpful to know how old your husband is, what stage the cancer is, and other details. That will help those with similar situations to provide the right suggestions.
In the meantime, welcome.
