Hi Kristerell,
I did start eating about 3-4 weeks after treatment. I had actually stopped swallowing and drinking water which is bad. It was so incredibly hard to begin swallowing water again and even harder to eat. I cant explain how hard it was. I didnt want it, it tasted horrible, my mouth was so dry, it was scary to swallow things. I started out with 3 bites per meal and then had my tube feeding. Gradually progressed. I really really wanted to go to work so that was motivation. See if your husband will agree to just 3 bites per meal. I had an awesome speech therapist. Maybe he could see one to help with the anxiety and give him some tips to safely start with. Best wishes.
