Hi all,
Newbie joining the group.
My Dad was diagnosed with Mesothelioma in October 21. He has gone through 2x Vax procedures and had a huge operation removing 2/3rds of his left lung, the heart lining and the diaphragm lining at St Bart’s.
He has been having immunotherapy (every 3 weeks) since August. He has lost so much weight and looks dangerously slim.
He is really struggling to eat as he feels it gets stuck going down and has phlegm which also puts him of eating. He is also short of breath even getting up to go into another room.
Any suggestions re diet, weight gain and general tips to build morale would be greatly appreciated.
He spends most of the day in bed or on the sofa under heated blankets. He has always been so active so mentally he is struggling as well as my mum too, she’s off work looking after him. Would be good to be able to help them both feel more supported.
