He was hospitalised for three weeks because he had the herpes virus all way down his throat inside. My worry now is that I cannot get him to eat . 1 his mind is still reminding him that his throat is sore, 2 nothing has any taste and makes him ill3 he does have a peg and is saying that he can get food through that so why try it. He has lost 15 kilos in past two months. I never thought that the recovery would be so hard on him and also the family.

Has your husband seen a dietician lately? I know they hounded me through treatment re not losing too much weight. Your husband also might be suffering from depression as that happens a lot to people after treatment. All of this is worrying and tough on you xx Thu, 21 Jul 2016 10:39:36 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Coping-with-a-loved-one-s-cancer/Hi-I-m-new/m-p/15506#M2475 Jules2 2016-07-21T10:39:36Z
