Hi there,
My name is Brad, and I am caring for my mother who has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Her condition is complicated by the fact that she is suffering from chronic indigestion, which makes it difficult for her to eat. As a result, she is losing weight and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a food supplement drink she could take to combat the weight loss?
I was going to "Ask the Nurse" but the "New" button was not showing on the web page, so I could not post the query. Grateful for any advice/assistance.
Kind regards,
Brad.
Hi Brad welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that the Ask a Nurse button is not there, I suspect this is possibly because they may not be available at this time due to high demand for services, but thats just my thoughts, it may be something else totally different.
I wonder if you may like to give the Macmillan Line a call and they may be able to advise on this-- 08088080000. They are open again at 8am tomorrow and are always helpful as well.
