Hi Netty

Sadly know this route well and what Kathy has suggested is much the way I had to go when my husband was on chemo. (There were two side is our fridge!!) and afterwards. It was almost a day to day challenge depending on how he felt (some days it was just the nutritional drinks (they do soup based ones as well as the sweet varienty) and the dietician we saw at the hospital basically said throw the rule book away and whatever you can eat then do so - sausage rolls, butter in mashed potato, cream added to thick soups, doughnuts, bananas and a never ended supply of chocolate.  If your husband prefers savory (though am well aware chemo changes the taste buds in many (hubby said everything tasted like metal no matter what he ate but he tried so hard to eat what he could without being ill); scotch eggs, sausages and maybe fruit pastries (coissents) peanuts and crisps. When possible he drank whole milk (very often hot on cereas as he said it tasted better and was easier to swallow and porridge which he normally hated). Scrambled eggs with added butter. He had never been a fan of vegetables  but grating cheddar on cauliflower and jacket potatoes worked too.  Little and often (at one point we managed 7 small meals in a day and I almost felt like celebrating) and we kept a container of sweets by his side at all times.  Thinking of you both.

Hi there, I'm recovering from breast cancer and have recently gone back to work. I work for one of the feeding companies as a nurse. The oral supplements can be used to boost food and they also come in a neutral flavour so could be used like milk in mashed potato to add additional calories without affecting taste. I know the mocha ones mixed with whisky make a nice baileys which was very popular with my patients. a

Also the milk shake ones can be frozen to make ice cream. They expire the same as their expiry date on the bottle. The juice ones can make sorbets. Our company makes recipe books and has recipes for scones,pasta ,cakes and meals using the supplement bottles. I can see if I can find you the link if you are interested.??                                                                                                                               Kindest regards pix
