Hi ang, 

my husband has stage 4 lung cancer metastasised to his brain and bones (Jan 19) - he went through first and second line treatments with temporary successes and is now on a drug trial as part of a new arm of the Matrix trial. He has lost 11 kg in 8 weeks as everything tastes "sweet" and has no appetite or desire to eat.... he has been given "Fortisipp" fortified drinks which he appears to tolerate well ( various flavours) as a supplement to what I can get him to eat. He tolerates soups and soft food like a breakfast of chia seeds with almond milk. He has also managed vegetables well and lean meat cooked and added to soups. Pancakes with soft fillings too? Avoid extremes of flavours and listen to his responses when food is being prepared. Wishing him and you best of luck,

andrena

Thanks Andrena

Sending you lots of love and strength ️

How is he getting on?

Hi Faye, uch he isn't great...his recovery seems to have plateaud...he still has his feeding tube and isn't eating anything really..he is still being sick with most food...he has been trying small bits of jelly but it's very painful for him. He is also now very anxious and struggles to relax...he spends a lot of time walking up and down the hall! You feel so helpless. How is your mum doing?
