The dr�s told me to focus on eating and keeping hydrated, that was my priority and my wife made sure I was following those rules. During the first 3 weeks I was able to work, like others I could adjust my schedule and work from home. Most foods and fluids will taste terrible, including water. Find something he can tolerate and keep eating it, lots of Boast/Ensure. In my case eggs were on the menu everyday in some form, canned fruit and english muffins with lots of butter. Towards dinner time I didn�t want to eat, I tried to stock up earlier in the day. Take one day at a time; try not to count the days and with each treatment he is getting closer to the end state. Your husband can do it, he is lucky to have you as a caregiver.
