Welcome to the forum. I am sorry you need to join this circle of friends but we are here for you.
The initial diagnosis and the preparation for treatment are tough times. There is so much to take in and so much to find out about. It sounds like the hospital has a good team looking after your husband, not every hospital provides the services of a dietitian and/or speech therapist. So, trust that your husband is in good hands. We are not medical people here on the forum, but we have all gone through the experience either as patients or caregivers, so we know how it feels.
Please keep us updated and hope that everything moves along smoothly for you and your husband.
Gloria
