A welcomed boost for Stage 4 sufferer

Hello,

My mum has been recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer of the esophagus with secondary mets in her liver and stomach.

After much deliberation she has decided not to have the palliative chemotherapy due to the advancement of her condition.

The advice I'm seeking is to find out if anyone with relatives in a similar position has been successful giving their loved one a welcome boost of energy. My mum is now taking the fruit shots and Complan drinks but she just has zero energy and the CBD oil route isn't something she is willing to try due to other health complications.

On top of that she has food allergies so we are being extra careful what we give her.

We just want our mum to have enough energy to get through the day.

Sorry to just dump all of the symptoms down in one message but I thought that someone might be able to help.

Best wishes
