    My husband was diagnosed almost 2 months ago and is halfway through his radiation treatments. It is hard to go through this, watching someone you love in pain all the time and dealing with the side effects of the drugs that are dealing with the pain. He also has chemo brain and that's another whole set of issues. Keep coming back to read other's journey to get strength.
