When he was healthy, his weight usually rested around 130 - 135 pounds. (the slight build, is an inherited trait.)
Last Friday we met with the surgeon who announced the diagnosis of T3 Colon cancer. All he told us was that it was minimal cancer, that Hubby has been referred to the cancer clinic, and that he needs to gain weight before chemo starts. As far as any details, and support, the surgeon said we'll get that from the cancer clinic.
Other than milk shakes, and eating lots, I need some healthy high calories suggestions. He never did eat much, and now it's tough trying to get the calorie intake into him to cause the weight gain he needs, in a short time.
Thank you for your help.
Mo.
