I'm so sorry for what you and your husband are going thru. Just found out my mother has a 9 1/2 cm tumor, non-small cell lung cancer. To big for surgery right now, but starting chemo and radiation. Maybe try liquid probiotics for the constipation (Kefer, it's like a drinkable yogurt in the milk section by half n half). Not every grocery carries it. Ask his Dr first. Good luck, stay strong.
