Ellen, let us know how it all goes.
I tried the honey treatment going into radiation, although I didn't have Manuka honey until very late. It may well have helped, but as I was warned, eventually it became quite horrid! Yech!!! So, please be understanding if/when your husband can't stand the stuff any longer. Makes my stomach turn just thinking of it, and it's been more than a year.
I do enjoy honey now, but on toast or something. Not straight off a spoon. Ugh.
