Hi Dolores,
Depending on your husband's current weight, you might want him to try and gain some before the radiation and chemo treatments start. A number of forum members have experienced significant weight loss during and immediately after treatment, so a little padding could help.
Best wishes for a successful treatment. - Sheldon
