Good morning. I am sorry to bother you on a Sunday morning but I do have a question for you. When you were diagnosed before any treatment began and it was really difficult for you to eat or drink anything. What were you able to eat or drink. I have bought him pasta frozen food doesn't work. I take a potato and make it as smooth as possible. Popsicles. I even bought baby food. I have tried ensure Pedialyte nothing is working. Nothing. He has lost 22 lbs in 2 weeks. What worked for you? Thanks in advance. Kathy

Good Sunday morning. We are just getting ready to go to church.
Before treatment I could not eat anything and lost about 15 pounds before starting on the feeding tube with ISOSOURCE canisters. The best thing I liked back then was vanilla milkshakes which I could sip down. We tried Boost etc. but I did not like them. I hope you can get started wtih treatment soon.
