[QUOTE="ItsReal93, post: 10492981, member: 74577"] Really sorry to hear about your friend. I have stage IV cancer and it metastisized. Part of where it spread was to my stomach, and I had/have a very rough time eating. I had a feeding tube but it got badly infected so it had to be removed. Have they thought of this option? What stage is he at? Have they told him what he can and can't eat? Is he getting any kind of treatment or is there a treatment plan? Sorry for all the questions, but it's hard giving advice not really knowing the situation. I had to have stents put in my stomach after the feeding tube didn't work and after the surgeries nothing would stay down. Liquids are what I'm always recommended to take. Fruits and vegetables blended, or milkshakes with ensure or protein powder. It's pretty much experimenting until you find something that works. Somedays I only had broth. Other days broth wouldn't stay down, but a plain potato or milkshakes would. Baby food can be good too. I know you want to help your friend eat, but what he needs more is all the love and support he can get. Your an incredible and true friend for standing by him through this, because sadly there are many that don't do this. I'm sure his doctors are working hard on getting this under control. I have a few great websites where you can find good info, if you want them let me know. Have you thought of maybe putting together a care package before you leave? Those are always awesome to receive. Your friend is in my thoughts and prayers! As are you for your deployment. It always sucks hearing people getting cancer, especially knowing first hand what it's like. [/QUOTE]
