Thank you for this. I am so glad for you as well. He started chemo yesterday and the feeding tube and port kicked his ass. He seems weak. What can I do as a caretaker to help him stay motivated? And what was your diet like? He is maintaining 2200 a day, but it has been a challenge now that he can’t take in much, so he is feeding about 8 hours a day, which is not at night as he has trouble sleeping upright and tethered to a line, so we keep him on during the day which limits his mobility. Did you exercise at all during treatments?

I am 77, and got the diagnosis this morning. My problem was also about swallowing food. How long were you on Chemo/Radiation? how long have you been cancer free? Also how old were you at the onset? Thank you for taking the time to answer.
