dazbella,

Being unable to swallow solids is very unfortunate, and I hope it clears up in time. I'm glad your husband has been able to maintain his nutritional intake. I think it's worth asking his hematology team about it, including asking what type of specialist you might be able to consult with.

Many transplant patients have problems with their digestive system, particularly their mouth and throat, due to radiation and chemo they get as transplant pre-conditioning, which tends to wipe out those fast-growing cells. Others may have these problems from graft-versus-host disease after transplant. My wife had both, but was able to swallow solid food again about 6 weeks after her transplant.
