Any advice for eating with esophageal cancer during chemo?
Esophageal Cancer | Last Active: Aug 11, 2023 | Replies (12)Comment receiving replies
During my treatment for esophageal cancer, I lost all appitite for eating for months and lost 20 pounds. The solution was to have feeding tube installed and to take 6 ISOSOURCE canisters per day which provided the needed calories and protein. I'm now cancer free and my appitite is back full strength. Have the docs talked about getting a feeding tube?

It has been talked about, but the doctors say it isn't time for a feeding tube. They just keep telling him to eat whatever he can, and take a bite of something every 10 minutes.
