Margaret, my husband hit the wall 3 wks into treatment. It just happens so fast. He hasn't worked in 12 wks but is anxious to slowly start back. Does your hubby have a feeding tube? It really helps. We waited til wk 4 and by then he lost 27 lbs. Hydration is the key! If you would like to e-mail me check out my profile. I know and understand what you are going through. Remember to take care of yourself too. I ended up in the ER with an anxiety attack that I thought mite be a heart attack half way thorough this ordeal. So many emotions to deal with, anger, feeling sorry for my self, worry and just plain being scared stiff. You wonder, will this ever be done with!! LJ
