My Dad has finished three sets of chemo and is trying to eat at meals, but weight loss is an issue. Unfortunately, he doesn't believe in snacking between meals. Also, he says that Ensure tastes too sweet. Are there any other drinks like Ensure that we can buy for him to try?

Hello, My father was recently diagnosed with stage 3A Adenocarcinoma, inoperable. He turned eighty-four years old the same week he was diagnosed. Chemotherapy starts tomorrow and he will have another PET scan in four months. Two other family members have been through surgery and chemo successfully, for other types of cancers, but this feels a lot different. The scans also found an abdominal aortic aneurism, which complicates things. One of my father's major concerns is the effect that the chemo will have on his immune system. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, MaryE
