As Rita said....EAT. Have your husband eat everything her can, of course go for the most nutritious foods. Dont worry about gaining any weight, he wont want to have any regrets about food. It will take alot of calories to fight cancer. I lost 65 pounds, glad I had extra to lose. Eat like crazy now, it could be a very long time once treatments start and finish before he will eat normally again.
