Hi Susie,

I would like to reiterate what Laurie said...encourage your husband to eat as much as he can the next few weeks. Put on as much weight as possible unless he's already a big guy. I'm sure the doctors have told you, he's going to lose weight while undergoing the radiation. My husband lost 40 lbs and he was not overweight to begin with. Then there's the PEG or not to PEG issue....This forum is great, you will get all of your questions and concerns answered here. Wishing you and your husband all the best.

Take care,

Shelley
