Hi, has anyone else had issues with eating with a patient with lung cancer? My partner has ceased treatment a few months ago as toxicity was too much of a concern. About 3 months ago he started to b
ome very picky about eating and dropped lots of food from his diet. Since then,he does not eat any solids at all,other than very occasionally if i can catch him in the right mood, he will have nearla quarter of an apple,so I don't think it is a physical problem. All of the various medical people that we come across,I.e, palliative care nurses,dietitian, gps etc don't seem to understand that wn I say nothing solid passes his lips, I mean nothing! He is existing on 3 or 4 protein build up shakes a day, but dietitian is telling him that he needs to eat other foods.!
Hi Worcs I am sorry your partner is struggling to eat, I know how frustrating this must be for you. I think you need to go back to the medical team and explain that he really isn’t eating anything, and you need help with this! I’m sorry I don’t know what else to suggest.
