Oesophageal cancer - dad struggling with appetite, any ideas

Hi Dad 85 recently diagnosed with cancer T3 N2 had emergency stent fitted last week as couldn't get even fluids down.  Question , he's saying his taste buds don't seem right and along with lack of appetite is struggling to increase his sloppy food and drink intake.  Has anyone got experience of this please?

  • Hi TommyVader,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties your Dad is experiencing. Unfortunately I'm not able to advise on this but it sounds like it would be best to discuss this with his doctor/specialist. They will be best placed to advise and hopefully offer some suggestions to improve this.

    Meanwhile if there are others here with similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
