My father has stage 4 metastasised prostate cancer. He says everything tastes like mud, he is not eating and we need to build up his strength to start chemotherapy as he had lost so much weight. He doesn't like sweet things anymore. We bought him huel for replacement shakes, he started off ok and now hates those. Any suggestions on meal replacements as he has gone off food? He just about eats porridge but rarely anything else.
Hi
Have you spoken to the hospital or the Macmillan nurses? I'm sure they would be able to recommend something.
