Get him started on Carnation Instant Breakfast VHC which has a whopping 560 calories in the small 8 oz can. You must either get it over the internet or a faster and sometimes cheaper way is to order it thru the pharm dept at Walgreens or CVS. No prescrip needed. I lived on that stuff well into my 2nd year POST Tx.
Nausea can be triggered by many things assoc with this Tx including dehydration, constipation, chemo, rad, pain meds and even anti nausea meds. Keep on top of as many of these and let's hope you can control it.
