Hi Barbara,

My husband is at day 10 of radiation, so far he holds his weight, but he is losing taste quickly. I give him a shake every morning made up of various stuff our nutritionist recommended. Now I am adding Skandishake and Benecalorie liquid (it has a neutral taste) for extra calories. I added the shake calories up today and it came to 600+. If he can get 2-3 down a day, and whatever else he can tolerate as treatment goes on I will be happy. I ordered a lot of things on-line, but it does take a few days to arrive.

Best Wishes,


Barbara,
