  • Hi Lauren, 

    I'm sorry your dad is struggling with to eat at the moment. Hopefully the situation has improved since you made this post but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to chat to someone about this. They can be contacted on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I know you've had some good support and advice from some of our members already so fingers crossed they'll pop by to help again once they've seen this post.

    Kind regards,

  • Have you looked in his mouth?  Mum just came out of hospital and was complaining about her tongue peeling and a funny taste - when we looked she had thrush.  Just needed liquid medicine after each meal for a week. Might be worth a look?  Hope he feels comfortable soon.
