Hello, I am new here. My dad has oral cancer and is currently receiving chemo and radiation. He is doing well in most aspects, except eating. I am looking for any advice, recipes, etc that anyone might have for ways to get food in him. He's dropped 25 pounds in 3 weeks and is dehydrated. He has been receiving IV fluids to combat the dehydration. He is averaging about 700 calories intake each day. We are clearly trying to avoid a feeding tube. He can't seem to "taste" anything anymore but has complaints that everything tastes nasty. What is salty is way too salty, sweet is sickeningly sweet. His mouth and throat look raw and terrible.
Any advice is appreciated very much. Thank you all
