My husband will be starting 6 weeks of radiation along with weekly chemo treatments after the new year. We are lucky to have housing near the hospital but it is a one-room apartment with a tiny kitchen. I would appreciate any advice for helping us to get through this. He is extremely worried about nausea and vomiting, and doesn’t like to take narcotics. The hospital has already talked to us about how important nutrition and hydration are but I have no idea what to feed him or what he might be able to tolerate.


Husband DX’d 1/17/19 with SCC on lower left gum
Mandibulectomy 2/28/19
Recurrence 11/19
