I don't know if it's me or if others feel the same way. When family or friends call to see how my husband is, and I tell them how much pain he's in from the radiation/chemo, I always get a story about someone they know who had rads and came to work every day or someone who had chemo and the week after was skiing or hiking. Are other cancer treatments that different from head and neck as far as pain. I feel like they think I'm exaggerating. The only ones who understand are his cousin (who had the same cancer a year ago) and his brother (who has taken him for some of his treatments)
Thank goodness for this board or I would think what he is going through was abnormal.
God Bless, Carol
