Rose, sorry to hear of your difficulty. Is your husband being treated at a major comprehensive cancer center? If not, I would strongly urge you to get him to a cancer center and have him evaluated by a team there. There are specialists who work with cancer patients for eating therapy, speach, and many more post treatment issues. It is not uncommon for the treatments to be difficult to recover from, but there are many ways to improve the quality of life. A major cancer center will usually have these specialists on staff or at least be able to refer you to experts in the field. Don't give up the ship until you have exhausted all avenues to recover from the treatments. Tell your husband not to be depressed, but to find the specialists that can help him improve his quality of life.
