As I mentioned in another post my husband has actually managed to put on a few (much needed) pounds. But most of his calorie intake is through liquid can stuff. All his intake is oral(doesn't use a PEG for food) but he does struggle with eating solid foods. There is one small sore left but that is really a minor problem. It seems to be a combination of low appetite, some gagging(we think from mucous) and just very low interest in food. This is from a guy who always loved good food of any kind.
He's coming on three months post treatment. He does make himself try different things but it's slow going. Some improvement but slow. Did anyone else experience this? any tips?
