Sickness and eating!

Hi there, my brother is in the advanced stages of bowel cancer that's now causing liver issues etc and is now feeling sick when he eats and drinks a heavy drink (like Fuel or meal supliments) and I wonder what is a good thing to try - is there a suitable thing that can get fluids into the body and essential minerals etc?

  • Welcome to the forum Robbie although I'm very sorry to hear your brother is in the advanced stages of bowel cancer. This must be very tough for you and your family.

    We have some tips on managing these issues just here but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses you're very welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. You may also be able to get some information and advice from the UK's leading bowel cancer charity, Bowel Cancer UK.

    I hope this helps and you receive some help and suggestions from our members soon.

    Kind regards,
