You're SO right...everyone heals differently! So don't despair...maybe your hubby will be as lucky as mine has been...He is back to eating beef tenderloin, port tenderloin, Italian sausages, fresh salmon & tuna...all the things he loves. I think that strong will and determination plays a great part in recuperation. Just tell him not to 'push' himself before HE is ready...listen to HIS body and respond accordingly!

Wishing you luck! Lois & Buzz in NC
