Hi Karen, Very sorry to hear about your husband. I don't really feel qualified to give you advice but I am going to share that I have lung cancer also and it is also in my trachea. Recently when I was going through chemo and radiation I found it very hard to eat. The Doctors and nurses kept impressing upon me to have a high protein diet in small quantities. Luckily, I like yoghurt and dairy products and I found that there are some very high protein yoghurts and deserts in the supermarket. I also turned to high protein shakes found in the chemist, plus I have an egg salad recipe made with cream and corn relish which I love at the best of times and all mushed up, it became a favourite. Another favourite was smoked oysters, again high in protein and cheap enough. Plus, there was vege mash. Overall the high protein helped with my fatigue, and everything was a little bit at a time but as frequent as I could manage. I was on pain killers for my throat and believe or not strepsils helped too. Anyway, I hope maybe you can get something out of this and it helps in some small way. Take care and the best to you both.
