I agree with all of Brian's suggestions. From what I understand, during the BMT the patient burns many more calories than usual, so it's important to get in as many calories as possible. My husband drank ensure on the days he couldn't stomach solid food. Packing on some healthy weight now might be helpful as his appetite might change during and after chemo. Also, if you're planning on having children look in to banking. As a caregiver, make sure you take care of yourself. Believe me, it's easy to forget, but it's so important to keep you healthy. My prayers are with you guys.
