Can anyone give any tips on these drinks they give . My partner has been given Ensure plus drinks and fortisips by the dietician but they just make him sick and then he is scared to drink them. He has no energy and unable to keep anything down it’s so worrying. Thank you
Hello Butterfly77
I am Brian one of the Community Champions here on the Community. I can't answer your question myself as I have a different cancer than your partner, however by me replying, your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the group and hopefully seen and answered by other Community members.
May I suggest you ask the dietician if there are any alternative drinks to the one's you have been given in view of your partner's reactions. the other answer is to ask one of our cancer nurses and here's the link you need-
As the nurses are quite busy, please give them a couple of days to reply.
If I can do anything else for you please do get back to me - I do hope you get sorted.
Best wishes - Brian.
