Try a humidifier while he sleeps to add moisture into the air to help with his sinuses. That could be the reason behind the bloody nose. As with any change, make sure to mention this to the nurses or doc on the next visit. You never know when something that seems small could be a problem.

Good nutrition and hydration will help him get thru the next few weeks. He must get a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz of water every single day or he will begin to feel awful. Next step would be hospitalized for dehydration and malnutrition. Those can sneak up awfully quickly. It happened to me more times than I would like to admit to.

Several times per day try using a rinse to help maintain the ph balance in his mouth. Take 16 oz of warm water and add 2 tsp baking soda plus 2 tsp salt. Have your husband swish this and gargle for a few seconds. Repeat at least 5 times daily. Some members have found manuka honey from health food stores has worked wonders with the mouth sores. Check with Cheryl about the honey, she used it successfully. Hate to say it but this will get progressively worse as time goes on. It is a rough road but keep your eye on the prize, being cancer free.

If your husband isnt taking in enough fluids, ask the doc about getting him hydrated. The doc can easily write a prescription for your husband to go 3x a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) into the chemo lab to be given IV fluids. He will instantly feel much better.

Dont forget if your husband isnt taking in c=enough calories he can always get a nasal tube as a temporary measure. It will help him to get enough calories and water daily.

Best wishes with everything!!!
