Ask your Doctor for a script for the boost, The stuff I eat is called Jevity. The same as Boost or Insure. It has all the calories & proteins needed. Mine come in 8oz. cans and I input 8 cans per day. Gary is correct in that if your Doctor orders the food your insurance co. should pay for it. Mine Does.
My tumor was on the carotid artery and they left some cells on during surgery. They said the IMRT radiation would take care of the remaining cancer cells. I hope they are right!!!!
I wanted you to know that I am praying for dan every day. I wish nothing but the best to you both.
Your Friend, Dan
