Hello and thanks for your post,

If your husband is struggling to maintain a good intake of daily food, then do ask the hospital team for him to be referred to see a dietician.

They can assess him and advise further. Complan is the most known brand, but there will be others online. there are some helpful resources that I can signpost you to, Macmillan Cancer Support has a building up diet resource, on the link here,

The Royal Marsden has produced a cookbook on nutritious food for patients with cancer which you might want to purchase. Have a look here,
