Sounds like your husband is doing very well. If you end up putting the Carnation VHC in the tube, water it down. Its very thick. The thickness might make it easier to drink. When I used it in my tube, I would add 2 cans of water for 3 cans of formula.

When I did my radiation, I returned back to my office job 6 weeks after finishing chemo and radiation. After working half days for about 3 months, I then started working full time. I hope your husband does as well with his recovery after his treatments are finished. Its so hard to plan things while going thru this. Im sure you both are anxious to getting back to your normal routines. Returning to work is a big accomplishment and will make him feel so much better. The 5 month estimate is probably a very conservative guess as to when your husband will be ready to work again. I would say to plan for it to be 5 months but hopefully he will be ready to work again after 2 or 3 months.
