Hello, My partner is now 8 weeks post RT for tonsil/tongue Cancer. He is trying to up his food intake and is doing reasonably well with eating. Some foods are easier than others and he needs to have water to help get the food down. His throat is still sore at times and his tongue is still a little swollen which causes his speech to be a bit slurred. The dietician wants him to start weaning off using his RIG. He is still having 2 protein drinks a day to up his calories as he's lost alot of weight and his food portions are still pretty small in comparison to what he ate previously. He is having 2 Frusibin and Fortisips orally daily but he really hates them as they taste not nice, chocolate one is better, however, he finds he feels quite sick afterwards as they are quite rich. Can anyone recommend an alternative that he could try? Even when he put them through his RIG he found he felt sick afterwards. Many thanks in advance for all your advice.
