I live in the Hungarian countryside and have no friends my husband was diagnosed with upper oesophageal cancer and he had chemotherapy and 33 rounds of radiation. We don't know if it worked as he has a peg but I am so petrified. I can't sleep and I feel guilty leaving his side for a minute. He is fine basically but I am so lost. He finished radiation on July 16 and next week we will try to let him sip some water.
