Drug or Chemo Therapy
Mood swings, anxious, fatigued. But necessary. We trust our doctor that it helps decrease the cancer risks. So that makes it worth the side effects.

Radiation
No pain according to my husband but it always makes him tired, sometimes sick to his stomach, sometimes dizzy, no appetite. Some bladder issues, but not bad.

Side Effects
Both of us are depressed. He has night sweats, anxiety attacks. Feels like he wont be able to return to work or want to. I want him to try and walk a little, but he mostly sleeps and watches TV.
