Welcome to the board! My husband, Dan, started to feel better 8-10 weeks post chemo/rad treatments. He was prescribed a liquid called Nutren 2.0 which was a bit thicker and had more calories per can, so he didn't have to take in more than 5 cans a day. After he could eat some, he still had reflux which was a problem before the cancer. He has been taken Protonix (prescribed by his oncologist) and that has put that problem at bay. It is so hard to see the one you love suffer so much, but I prayed everyday for God to give me strength to be positive and for Dan to feel better. There is light at the end of the tunnel and your dad should start feeling it soon. You will be in my prayers. Make sure you have a great support system in place for both of you...it was so important in the healing process for us.
God bless,
Debbie
