I'll look up the Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl. If it has eggs in it, that's a non-starter as he is allergic to eggs. Go figure. Eggs are a good source of protein. When we go to his Oncologist soon we'll ask him about the lack of appetite and why he prefers soups, liquids for food. I have a nice recipe for Cheesecake and I know he has eaten that before. I'll give it a try. Thanks!!!

Too bad about eggs. Something else that usually is tolerable is Progresso split pea soup with ham chunks added. I guess not everyone likes pea soup but it feels like a comfort food.

I forgot if you mentioned what type of cancer you guys are dealing with. My husband has GEJ cancer (gastroesophageal junction) so his gut is messed up which can affect his appetite.

Also it is not uncommon to have chemo cause nausea. He is taking Zofran (and sometimes Compazine) to try to keep it under control.

He does really try because he knows if he loses too much weight they might not give him chemo.

Here's hoping for the best for both of them.
