my boyfriend will be three weeks post treatment this coming tuesday...his mucous is still horrible. he also is still sleeping for most of the day. he only gets up to put nutrition in the tube, cough up stuff and use the bathroom. i am not sure if at this point he should be at least awake for more of the day and able to do a little more for himself. i have to really encourage him to get in the shower every few days - he at least has kept up with his teeth! when i am at work he may get one can of nutrition in and then we have to catch up when i get home.
right now i am not sure if i should be encouraging him to do a little more for himself...quite frankly i am exhausted from the combination of his care and working 6-7 days a week. i dont want to push him if he really isn't capable of it at this point.
so...my question is...what are most people's days looking like 3 weeks post rad?

Is rad meaning radiation. I had radiation treatment for cancer and it was no big deal. So, I wondering what this is. I'm sure I missed out on a previous message, but I don't know how to get back to one.
Anyway, sounds like he is turning the corner. I wish you both continued Good Luck!
