Hi,
I am not too sure how this all works as I'm very new to this.
My grandad has just been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes. I'm not too sure what to do, I've always thought he would live forever, and I never knew a world without him could exist.
He's not able to eat anything at all, and it's making him so miserable living off the shakes the hospital gives him, I'm not sure if anyone knows of anything we can do to help him? or any alternatives we can try just to get him something savoury.
This was my first sort of thought when I'd finally got home, I just want to help him.
Have you spoken to your granddad's Oncology team.There should be a dietitian who can give you advice.

Hello
Sorry that your Grandad is having a tough time, I had to use the shakes for nearly 2 months. I also ate soups, if the soup had bits I liquidized them. Porridge or wheatbix for breakfast.
Is your Grandad being offered Chemo?
Contact the team dietitian
Also contact your local Macmillan team as they are a wealth of information that can support your Grandad and you.
Best wishes Jennie
