A member asked:
My husband is getting ready to do weeks of chemo/radiation for tongue/throat cancer. how can i help him prepare?

Love him: This is a time for communication between you, and with your physicians. There's no magic. Do what you can to keep him happy, respect him if he goes into his "cave" and doesn't want to talk at times, and consider a few days for a "second honeymoon".
