Head and Neck Radiotherapy

Hi, my dad has just finished a 4 week course of radiotherapy for tongue and neck cancer. He is really struggling with the mucus and not being able to eat. The ensure drinks are not particularly nice! Any tips on what he could drink? He not keen to eat at the moment. Been drinking lots of milk. 
Thank you

  • Hi there, sorry about your dad.my partner is almost finished treatment for nasal cancer and is only managing ensure drinks mostly  due to sore mouth.

    I make him soups ans add double cream for extra calories. He also managed some pasta the other day. I add lots of butter. Scrambled eggs are good aswell with grated cheese. It must be so difficult so eat with the pain and lack of appetite. Good luck
