Nancy - My husband from the first week of treatment did not want to eat. At that point he did not have a tube, but got one the second week, thank goodness. As to anti-depressants, he just started on Zoloft 2 weeks ago, and although he is still not interested in eating due to ongoing problems with nausea, at least he is a little more interested in what's taking place, whereas before, he seemed as if he couldn't care, and was quite contrary when I tried to get him to eat. As with your husband, he stated he just did not have any desire whatsoever. But the combination of the tube and the Zoloft is helping as far as he accepts the fact that he needs the tube for nutrition and is willing and I think relieved to not have to deal with eating. He still swallows liquids though, so far. I hope you can encourage him to get the tube, and some help from an anti-depressant. I wish you luck.
