Help , Father diagnosed yesterday

My father was diagnosed yesterday with stomach cancer which has spread to his liver. The dietian sheet was extremely  challenging as the doctor had said on leaving the hospital no bread and no meat.whereas the diet plan includes bread and meat. My father is finding swallowing very difficult , even his tablets. ( yoghurt and ice cream are only foods.he  can swallow down without discomfort)So any amount of food is hard. We were advised to buy Marvel Milk for the protein and calories, however households seemed to have stockpiled during this concern of Corona virus. Any help or advice would be most gratefully recieved. 

  • Hi Mazkaz and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    I'm really sorry about your father's diagnosis and the difficulty he's having with eating at the moment. I hope this information we have on our website about managing diet problems will help but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses you can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon as well.

    Kind regards,
