Hi Debra,

I am not trying to scare but my wife's health declines for 3 to 4 months adfter the end of radiation and chemo. What contributed to this decline, I belive was in part not adequate nutrition. She was on a peg tube for about 9 months and she was not getting enough calorie intake. Hydration at time was also a problem. She ended up in the hospital a couple of times due to dehydration. Please unsure that he gets enough water and calories every day. We went on a schedule with the tube feedings whcih we did in the morning, mid-day and evening.
