My gawd!! What a trial you have been through - no wonder you need to vent. 5FU is a drug I asked my MO about and he said they prefer not to prescribe it as it can be a very dangerous drug with serious side effects. Maybe a consult with your MO is in order to see if another drug can be as effective? Also you might ask your MO for "magic mouthwash". If you do a search on this website you will find much discussion about the formulation of it, but it helps mouth sores during chemo. Perhaps it will offer your husband some relief.

One would certainly prefer to think that all of the medical staff got "A's" however there certainly are those out there who scraped by with a "D"!

Stay strong - it will get better.
