  • Hi Sandra

    Welcome to the forum, thank you for reaching out.

    I am sorry to read that your husband has recently been diagnosed with oesoophageal cancer, I understand how scarey this situation can be, and I hope you are finding your strength together, it is I believe, important that this is something you understand you are both going through. 

    When my husband was unable to eat solids we focussed on smoothies, alongside the nutrition drinks, we added Super Green Powder into the mix, which seemed to give some added vitamins such as B12, C, and E plus iron and zinc, I am not sure if this is something that would be of benefit to your husband, but as it is a powder it can be introduced to any liquid to help digestion. As for the Vitamin D is that something that is an ongoing requirement or new with the diagnosis?
