My dad can’t eat with oesophageal cancer. Any suggestion of what liquid foods are helpful . Theres nothing in place for any treatments as it’s only 5days since we found out
Any cream of soups are good. The more calories the better. If drinking tea coffee use full fat milk. Complan shakes are high in calories and protein, or you could get protein shakes from health/sport shops. Talk to McMillan nurse, you should be offered high protein/calorie drinks on prescription. I am now on jej feed as my oesophagus is now blocked but getting enough feed by pump. Hopefully things will improve as I start chemotherapy / immunotherapy tomorrow
