My husband is 10 weeks post radiotherapy and chemo.

Hi River. Sorry your husband has had such a struggle. Generally we are told that the better nourished we are and the less weight we lose the faster our recovery. 
I had an NG tube in by week 4 and list very little. 
What we tend to find here is that folk are beginning to eat soft foods by 6 weeks and have definitely turned a corner at 12

I could eat well at six months though taste remained a problem for well past  a year 

But everybody is different. It’s a slow journey and improvements continue past two years. 
Do you have access to good replacement drinks? Your husband is going to need 3K Calories a day. 
If not make shakes with fruit ice cream and peanut butter. Add cream  butter and eggs to everything. 
Ih and be rigorous about oral hygeine

He will get there. Just at his own pace a day at a time sometimes backwards but he will get there. 

Hi River3

please trust things will improve.  I am 6 months from RT snd can eat most things (with water).  I was very down in the early weeks as I had a lot of pain and nausea but at 4 months things got a lot lot better.  I still have very dry mouth do always need water to eat and sometimes I still feel a bit sicky but on the whole it’s not too bad at all.  I wish your husband well and sending you all best wishes.

Thank you for your input. He gets 2 high protein drinks daily on prescription. I add cream and butter and constantly have to keep encouraging him to eat as he tends to forget! As you say it’s a day at a time. 

Thank you for your encouraging reply. He does take water all the time but thankfully very little nausea. We will get there!

Hang on in there. He’s done the hardest bit 

A day at a time.
