I seriously would look at finding a different dr. one with some ideas. Just because one dr. says this is it - doesn't mean another will feel the same. Good Luck in LA. Right now it sounds as though your husband's cancer is treatable... curable... That's why I'm suggesting another opinion. Sorry I didn't realize he was still on a tube, Christine is right try adding protein powder to his formula it will help him heal. Maybe some vitamin D as well. Also Circumen. It helps minimize inflammation. All of these should help. Make sure you okay the anti oxidents with your dr. some work agains radiation and chemo. take care and good luck.
