Hi, I agree with David, the next few weeks will be tough too. Radiation carries on working. I found the nasal tube was an enormous help and wish Martin had not resisted so long. I could make sure he had the correct amount of nutrition. He just needed to keep drinking. We were also given a nebuluser to help with the dryness and mucus. I also sneaked it maple syrup in everything in an attempt to hide the taste. Our dietician said to us the best way to keep his weight up was dairy, so ice cream, yogurt, creme caramel were present at every meal. Good luck and well done for getting through the treatment.
