Hi Lissi,
Welcome to the caregiver forum. Sorry you had to find us, but this is a great place for information.

I found a pill crusher to be useful. As the treatment goes on, you'll be getting a assortment of meds. Whether swallowing, or using a feeding tube, some of those pills need to be crushed or cut in half. You'll have to ask the pharmacist if it is ok for each pill.

Speaking of the feeding tube, I hope he gets one.
Hydration and nutrition are essential and will have a lot to do with how well he gets through his treatment. There are posters here that toughed it out without a tube and they had some real rough times.

Please keep us posted and what is happening, and even if you just want to talk.

Ginny
