Ken, the above recipe is for one meal that you can eat 6x daily, think of it as a healthier replacement for your Ensure or Boost. Don't eat till you are stuffed, just consume whatever you can keep down each time my friend.

The above advice is the basis of a grant project I'm working on actually. The thoughts above are the unrefined results of a collaboration with experts in the field of sports nutrition and training as I have a long history and many connections there, several with the initials PHD after their name.

Now it's a little known fact that our Medical Practitioners know very little about nutrition, in fact if pressed they will have to admit how little was covered during their education to become medical Dr's, so it's a rarity that you'll find an MD that is up to speed on anything pertaining to exercise and nutrition, especially in extreme cases. Sadly our nutrition experts are kind of in the same boat.

Understand that requirements vary by state. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a dietitian and a nutritionist needs at least a bachelor's degree in dietetics, foods and nutrition, food service systems management, or related areas.
35 states require licensure. Twelve states require statutory certification, and one state requires registration. For information on registration requirements, check the Commission on Dietetic Registration website, or check your state's government website.

Now if you read that, you can have a "nutritionist" that received a Bachelors degree (2 years of required classes and 2 years of study that pertain to their trade) in "food service systems management" that may or may not be required to pass a certifications test to give you the advice that may or may not save your life. So the advice to get the "best" medical advice available to you also would include nutrition advice.

Now if you look at the metabolic conditions, nutritional and recovery needs of a cancer patient, they are very similar to those of athletes, especially those that have to restrict their diets to keep or cut weight, like boxers, wrestlers, bodybuilders, mma fighters etc. Near the time they have to compete most of these type of athletes are on a very restrictive diet with their nutrition aimed at retaining lean muscle mass, while squeezing all water and adipose tissue they can out of their systems. So my advice is to get the advice of a nutritionist that is familiar with working with those types of athletes...which is what I'm doing actually in this grant proposal.

I'll be updating my research on these forums and most assuredly making adjustments etc, but this is a good starting point.

again, good luck, hope it helps.
