I am happy to say he has slowly returned to a person I recognize as my husband. I contribute that to him weaning himself off of the depression medication he was on, finally getting a scan that shows no sign of cancer and starting to eat again. He was told that he had to have surgery to move his PEG to a new location in Dec. if he didn't have it removed. That was all he needed to hear, he started to eat and realized he could eat more things than he expected. I had also realized I needed to stop hounding him regarding his eating, status of med issues etc. He also spends a lot of time alone on his farm and comes back more relaxed. It does get better but I would not have believed that 6 months ago! Hang in there.
