Wanda - my husband's experience was pretty much the same as what Geri wrote about, in terms of what drugs worked. Regarding nutrition, if John is not already using a gravity feed bag, then please talk to your dietician immediately. This was a lifesaver for my husband. David is right - your husband needs fuel to both fight the cancer AND to recover from the side effects of the treatment. Best of luck to you both. It really will get better!
