Well, thank you everyone for sharing all of your experiences.

I did call his Docs and they gave some ideas...but most importantly confirmed that if needed get him to the hospital for an IV. Which I told him is always an option.

It is hard because he figures he is eating about 800-900 calories/day. The nurse did say to worry less about weight loss right now and more about consuming liquids.

I have taken notes from all of your replies and will share them with him. When I told him that I read about other people experiencing the problem with mucous he was surprised and comforted by the fact that this is something that people who go through this experience.

Again I say all of you who participate here are a huge blessing to others, whether they post or just come in and read...you will never know how many lives you touch!!!

Mark thanks for the encouraging post...I know that everyone is different and it is good to know that there is hope for some quick signs of improvement. However it is also good to hear that we may be in for a long haul too, so we can prepare for whatever road this will take us on.

God Bless You All...and as always you are in my prayers.
