Hi,
I didn't think that my husband would have a hard time coping at all. When he walked into the treatment deal he thought he would do good and be able to work on his bathroom, he is remodleing. He had lost his job two weeks before christmas. We have 8 radiation treatments left and two chemos. He can hardly move. I found him this morning all most passed out in the kitchen from gaggiling with salt and it burnt his throat so bad. The outside of his neck is aweful almost like hamburger.
He has broke down and cried and I have not seen that in him since we went out together. and that was only once. We have been married 35 years next weekend. So if you need to break down I don't feel that is a problem.
Pat
