I am on CHEMO. Lost almost 20 pounds but now back up to 123 from a low of 115.
Boost "very high calorie" from Nestle has helped a lot It has 530 calories in a 8 oz package.

@alufa22222 : I'm also recommending Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus and Orgain -- fewer lab chemicals than Boost or Ensure.

I dilute the Bolthouse with equal parts soy milk and dairy milk, bc Bolthouse has a lot of sugar. I haven't yet tried the Orgain, but I think it's the "cleanest." I feel strongly that good nutrition (very little added sugar, as few lab chemicals as possible) makes a big difference, although I acknowledge that eating well is a huge challenge, esp. for those of us who live alone and have no energy to cook most days.

Wishing you a good result.
