Husband newly diagnosed with cancer of oesophagus 2 days ago

Waiting to find out stage and type of cancer and what treatment is available ..Hopefully MDT meeting next Friday will clarify all this. Unfortunately my husband has other health issues which will impact on future treatment. He can only have liquid diet and build up drinks hospital provide ..so I'm taking additional food into hospital to help build him up ..Ambrosia custards ..creamed rice ..smooth soups. ..any more ideas for mushy food n drinks would be appreciated ...He is very scared as am I ...thank you 

  • Hi,

    When I was on chemo I survived on home made power shakes and smoothies (full fat milk and peanut butter make a good starting point) and liquidised home made soup (you can blitz almost anything!).

    Google “smoothies for cancer patients to gain weight” or something similar for some useful recipes. 

    Best wishes
