  • Hi Mandx, 

    Its really tough but you are doing your best and I am sure that your husband is really appreciative.  Remember that the Macmillan nurses are happy to chat on the phone to you and support you.  You can also discuss food and nutrition with them.  In this fight food is so important and it cant be underestimated how vital it is and will impact directly fatigue and tiredness. If your husband is struggling with food there are shakes such as Altraplen which your GP may be able to prescribe to help maintain weight and provide nutrients but chat that through with a nurse and your GP, there are a number of options.  This forum and the folks on it can offer support and advice. There are lots of folks who are on the same journey or have been on it so you are not alone.  I found reaching out Macmillan really helpful.  Hang on in there and stay strong, Regards Richard

  • Actigain is a fruit nutrient drink and much nicer than the shakes IMO
