A physician needs to evaluate this, and soon. It's been eight weeks, more than enough time to get things back on track. This might warrant a trip to the emergency room, too.
Good luck. Eight weeks without solid nourishment can seriously set back his treatment program for his cancer. He needs calories, now.

I think your husband needs his MD to prescribe him some good meds for pain control. The Whipple procedure is not a cure, its just a temporary fix and sometimes it helps and sometimes It doesnt.
Ask his Oncologist about his prognosis and pray. Be good to your husband and ask him what he needs from you.
Good luck.
