Sorry but I have not used either one. I would suggest asking the doc. I would think pineapple juice would burn his mouth. When someone is just finishing radiation everything burns a overly sensitive mouth. Even regular water bothered me, it tasted burnt and it hurt to drink.

You are smart to keep your husband away from young children and crowds til his immune system bounces back. Another shot to boost white counts is procrit. Check with your husbands MO about if he needs to get the shots. If his numbers are that low, he should get a shot.

Glad to hear your husband is doing a little better with eating. It will be baby steps for a while then you will begin to notice his recovery is going better.

Take it day by day smile
