My husband is undergoing radiation treatment.. [View all]

for throat cancer. He has become so very angry. The pain, inability to eat, fatigue, etc. I'm at my wits end in keeping things manageable for him. I cannot even fathom what he is going through. My question is...would it be beneficial for him to seek a support group?...somewhere he can meet others who are experiencing the same challenges? Have any of you taken advantage of extra help or counseling? My brave facade is starting to crumble under the verbal attacks. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
