Ellen: I'll say a prayer that everything goes okay with your hubby's chemo Friday. Good luck with keeping the weight up - that's so hard, but it can be done, as you have read from other Forum members. As time goes by, and hopefully things get better, you'll have stories to tell like the funny one Cecilia told about her husband, Martin. Hope hubby keeps eating by mouth, even a little bit every day because it does strengten the muscles he uses when he swallows - that is so important.
