Hi All
I've recently been diagnosed with a grade 1 4.5 cm tumour in my right kidney and been added to the waiting list in Lothian for a full nephrectomy.
This isn't my first brush with cancer as over the last 8 years I've had 3 separate cancers in my mouth and neck. The last one involved major surgery to remove my soft palate and insert a flap of skin from my forearm. That one left me unable to eat or drink and so I have a PEG tube through which I feed 6 Fortisip a day.
I read online that high protein drinks such as Fortisip are not great for those with renal issues. Does anybody know what the risks are here? I have reached out to my dietician but she has advised that she is not experienced in renal cancer.
Thanks in advance
Hi
I don't know the answer to your question and that's a rubbish answer from your dietician!
But I am over the bridge in Fife so thought I would say hello and welcome. 
I'm at the Western. Perhaps you are too?
