Hi @lindasimmonsihatecan. Dealing with this diagnosis can be so difficult. Is he nauseated or just has no interest in eating? There are medications for each issue. Have you consulted with his oncologist or nurse? Many people recommend protein shakes in order to get high levels of nutrients. When I was first diagnosed (stage IV, mets to the liver too. 4.5 years ago), I would eat a bite or two, and then I just couldn't bring myself to eat any more. I only wanted vanilla ice cream shakes. What type of treatment is he currently having?

My husband was able to sip protein drinks. He prefers Pure Protein vanilla.
