Dear EBJensen,

Welcome to this forum -- I'm sorry to hear your husband is having to face this all over again. I'm sure you'll find a lot of support and helpful information here.

When does your husband start with chemo and radiation? Is he being treated at a major cancer center? As you may have already heard, radiation in the head and neck region is typically very debilitating for a period of months, so it's important for him to be prepared ahead of time to meet his nutritional needs and try to minimize weight loss during the course of treatment.

Please feel free to post your questions and concerns and there's bound to be someone here who has experienced something similar.

Cathy
