Hi Roz –
The most important thing I would recommend is getting your husband’s Vitamin D3 level up to optimal.
Dr. Mercola (mercola.com) has very good information about Vitamin D3 and cancer (take with K2 and magnesium which makes Vitamin D more effective).
Here are a few links to some of Mercola's articles:

For someone with cancer, the 25 Hydroxy D test should be in the range of 70 to 100 ng/ml.
Please have your husband tested. I’m from Canada and actually use Grassroots Health (an American company) for testing because I haven’t found anything comparable here.

They send you the kit through the mail.
Are you able to find a good naturopath or orthomolecular / functional doctor where you live?
They could help you get started on various supplements, lifestyle changes (staying hydrated, no sugar, keep the lymph moving through light exercise/rebounding, etc.).
There are so many other vitamins crucial to those with cancer. Vitamin C is at the top of the list after Vitamin D.
Here’s an interesting article by Andrew Saul: Why Vitamin C fights cancer so well and why more and more oncologists are now using it.

There is melatonin as well:

It's good that you are reaching out to Earth Clinic for information. I'm sure others will have more to add.
I wish all the best for you and your husband, Roz.
Take care,
Tessa
