Sorry to hear about your husband, but let him know that it does get better. Keep his spirits up and tell him to not let this disease win. He needs to kick it in the shin.
As far as the energy problem, there is a treatment called Procrit around that works on improving the components of the blood, primarily red and white blood cells. This will improve his energy level if it is due to blood counts that are low due to chemo treatment or other external treatments.
Also, getting the best treatment is what counts the most. I commuted to University of Miami daily and it took 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. You gotta do what you need to get that best treatment. Just listen to the radio and cruise along.
