My husband has one week left of the radiation, and then the road to recovery begins. He is less angry since he started to see how it was affecting me. He has been taking ativan from the beginning (since I asked the nurses and doctors about his anxiety). He now seems to have the right dosage of pain meds to finish his treatment. The mouthwashes he has gotten have been so beneficial to all the horrible pain he has had to endure from the radiation, tooth extractions and bone slivers (from the extractions). He will continue to use those as he begins to heal, and to help him retain his swallowing abilities. I hope your husband is doing well. Thank you for sharing.
