Mum was diagnosed a year ago - it has spread to her liver, kidneys are effected as well. She has lost an awful lot of weight and can't absorb nutrients. 

Just wondered if anyone has any tips on helping with weight gain?

Love to all xx

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that your mum is struggling to gain weight and know what a worrying time this must be for you.

    I don't have the experience with diet that you're looking for but thought I'd suggest that you also join and post in the carers only group, as I'm sure you'll find people there who will be happy to share their experiences with diet.

    If this is something that you'd like to do, clicking on the link I've created will take you there where you can then join and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your mum's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
