Hi Shannon

Welcome to OCF. If your husband doesnt want to get online, you can always print these out for him. He is at the middle point where he is starting to see the effects of treatment.

You have been given some very good advice from David about drinking and nutrition. Thats what will make the difference in his capability to bounce back. He really must drink a few swallows daily or it will be so much worse down the road. Another very important thing most doctors dont tell people is to stretch their mouth open as wide as possible several times per day.

He must get nourishment daily somehow, this is one reason he feels so bad. If he isnt taking anything in, he will end up malnourished and dehydrated which will put him in the hospitil. He will feel much better once he increases his intake.

Musinex will help with the phlem. Meds can go down the PEG tube just make sure you rinse it before and after giving meds. Hope he gets the peg tube very soon.

Best of luck with everything.
