Your husband definitely has the fact that he was active before all this on his side. It will help in the long run. I recovered quickly from everything like Jeff and Eileen but I'm also really young. I used my PEG tube for about 2 1/2 weeks or so after treatment and then one day I just gave it up and made myself eat by mouth and now there's nothing I can't eat except really spicy food. I finished treatments on July 31st and took a trip over Labor Day - nothing too active but it was great to get away. I noticed that my recovery sped up once I stopped sitting on the couch all day and I got out and did a little something every day (it's very convenient that I live near an outlet mall!) and also when I started eating real food - I got stronger much faster.

I still use a humidifier because my sinuses get dry at night. I also used Robitussin when I had the thick stuff going on. We joked that we were going to end up on some sort of government watch list for buying so much.

So, just give it time and things will get back to "normal." I'm dying to get back out and go hiking and camping again soon!
