Hi everyone
I am looking for ways to support my sister - 10 weeks after chemo and radio. She has an NG tube and had started food trials. After 3 weeks of an upset stomach, she still has stomach pain and cant ring herself to eat or drink. Back to the GP tomorrow altho the poo sample came back showing nothing. She does not eat dairy or anything that looks like dairy!
Life is short and we have to die of something. If drinking alcohol or eating fat rich foods (which helps swallow) kills me a few months before I might otherwise die then the quality and enjoyment of my life is worth far more than the quantity at this stage.
Absolutely but ....... red wine and beer contain polyphenols which may be protective but neat spirits are a no no for me. It's not the dying a few months earlier but the manner of it. I sure as hell don't fancy dying of a recurrence of my cancer

Hi Des
I have found cut up soft fruit with yogurt (honey flavoured etc) brings down the tartness & work really well. The yogurt helps things along.
