Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 My friend has throat cancer and anorexia, and I wonder if anyone has any other suggestions to help me to advise her with, she is to have the tumors removed but test are being carried out right now. She has lost a large amount of body weight and needs help to gain as eating is becoming a problem with the cancer spread. I recommended she took a zinc suppliment along with a good muti vitamin and mineral. She is also on a meal replacement herbal energy drink to boost calorie intake as she is finding swallowing difficult. She is on soft foods or pureed soups and I have suggested she has 6 small meals a day instead of breakfast, lunch and dinner to try and gain some much needed weight along side meal replacement drinks. Does anyone have suggestions of alternative ways to help with the cancer and weight gain I would be most grateful. Many thanks, Mary I would be grateful for any help and adivce you can give.
