Hi Delia,
My husband finished treatment in June of 05. Fight for good anti nausea meds, suppositories or whatever it takes. Nutrition is very important to keep his strength up. Without it, the recovery time is longer, he will lose lean muscle mass and strength. My husband would not take proper nutrition, he had a peg, and still won't, so his recovery has been slow and he has very little strenth or endurance. He is one stubborn man, but that is probably what got him thru treatment. To date he is cancer free.
