DCS,

Glad that you posted you are not alone. Everyone is here to help.

By your post it sounds like Your husband is not on a feeding tube. There is some medicine you can get from Dr. that will numb the mouth. It will help some. Sorry I do not recall the name of it.

I had feeding tube and it made it a lot easier. I do remember all the mouth pain. Keep swishing with the mouth sore meds. Make sure you tell your Radiologist about any problems you are having.

Try and be good to your self. This is hard on you as well. If you need some help with depression ask Dr. Will be thinking of you. Vent anytime you want !! We realize how stressful all this can be.

Keep reading here on OCF and find more information that will help you. It might help to brighten your day.

Take care,
Diane
