Sounds like your husband has everything happening at once! My husband had his molars pulled, but no tonsillectomy. And just got his feeding tube last week, 3 weeks before the end of his radiation. Most of his problems came with the PIC lines and port-a-caths used to administer his treatment. There are so many side problems that come before cancer treatment actually starts. You're more than welcome to PM me if you want to discuss this further. My best to your husband and you.
