JetAge - thanks for the comment. I don't know how much of the food he is eating is contributing to the lack of energy - I'm sure to some degree it is, and I am trying to incorporate more variety of foods into his diet so he can get more (and better) nutrition. It isn't easy - because a particular food he can eat one day without much problem - can be difficult the next. It's so weird. So I never know what to prepare sometimes for him - and he was never much of a fruit and veggie eater - even before the cancer diagnosis. I suspect since he is having a hard time with the inflammation in his neck from the surgery he had - this is the main culprit that is making him so tired. His strength isn't back yet either - a little bit of exertion and he breaks out into a sweat and gets so exhausted he has to sit down again. It's discouraging to know that this swelling problem can linger for months - I don't know how he can cope like this, and me either for that matter! Thanks for listening.
