Hi
Sorry that your husband broke ankle and he is in so much of suffering with cancer.With his condition I may suggest simple wearing of ankle brace and not much of interference apart from gentle manipulation to correct any deformity.Oxycodone for pain relief or he may be on pain meds already.Do not let him stand or bear weight for 3 weeks.A consultation with orthopedic doctor to do the necessary if he agrees
Best wishes and good luck
Pray for his well being
