Hi Tracy
well now is the time for all good caregivers to get tough girl.......If you dont fancy going head on with him then its stealth tactics and go behind his back.if you can get him to his next tx then while he is having his treatment find someone you can speak to and tell them in no uncertain terms that he hasnt eaten for 10 days.Failing that ring his doctor or a nurse and tell them.He will never recover well from RT in such a debilitated state,nutrition and hydration are the keys to success.

He may well rant and rave,he may spit the dummy big time,but what the hell you really have no choice,and its better a few tears now than a lot more later.
good luck
liz
