oesophageal cancer/ivor Lewis

[Ollies12345]

hoping for some help my dad had an Ivor Lewis 6 years ago. He’s is his 80’s now. I’m very worried as he’s been having issues with gagging then pain, he also gets constipated. He’s just had a scan and endoscopy and all as well as it can be in that area.

Dad is just skin and bone and I’m concerned as I think he’s now getting nervous of eating due to this gagging then pain, they think the foods getting blocked up, he does have emptying medication.

I’ve ordered him clear whey protein drinks as the shakes are too much for him. Does anybody have any good tips as he needs more nutrition as he’s getting weaker.

Warm wishes to all love Ali xx

Hi Ollie. So sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad has recently started the Fortijuice nutritional drinks (he has a different diagnosis to your Dad) and found them easier to drink. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you both. Julie
