The only thing you can do is offer your help. If its refused the

discussion is over. If he asks you for help be there for him. Don't

worry the Doctors will be watching him like a hawk now that you have

said your experience so far. They will pull him off the medication

quicker than you can blink an eye. Worrying, obsessing and WORST of

all nagging at him will only make things worse. Nothing positive will

come of it for you or him. Try and keep the focus on you Research

and make ONLY foods that are good for him. Bring no junk food into

the house. If he refuses to eat it hey you tried but I would continue

on getting your diet in order which will help you with stress and you

will have tons of it. When I look back and see what I have put my

poor husband through the past year it makes me want to cry. We are

both in marriage counseling and WOW has that helped us both. If he

refuses to go, you go because believe me you are gonna need it If

there is a caregiver support group in your area PLEASE JOIN IT! To be

honest I think the caregivers have it just as tough as the people

going through treatment only different issues

For now back off of him and keep the focus on YOU! If he asks for

help be there but he must specifically ask you for it. Once you get

some counseling or a support group for caregivers they can help you

with the rest of the issues that will come up. You cannot fix it, and

you nor anyone else can force him to do something he does not want to.
