When does this usually return? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 8 Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)

I suggest mentioning this to his doc on the next appointment or if his next appointment isnt for a while, try calling the nurses to see if they have any suggestions. Ask his team if theres a nutritionist at the treatment facility he could work with. Nutritionists have all kinds of ideas and suggestions that might be helpful.
Best wishes with your husbands continued recovery!!!
