Welcome to OCF!

Sorry your father is going thru treatments. Its not easy but he can make it. Food begins to taste different than it should and eating becomes difficult. Here is a list of easy to eat foods.

Boost makes a very high calorie drink which can help to get all those calories in easily. It can easily be ordered using the Amazon link on the main forum pages.
