My wife ate a lot of soup (various) and toast when she was in chemo a few years back.

Nothing to worry about losing one's appetite for.

yes, but he's lost 35 pounds so far... he's 5'11" and now weighs 150. He looks so thin compared to what I've known him to look for the prior 21 years.

Hospital dieticians are sometimes a good source of information on this subject. Osteoporosis is a result of sudden weight loss so a real concern for people like your husband and my Ray who lost his appetite for a while, reasons unknown.

I've tried a soft diet with Ray, casseroles, soups with bread or croutons added, all fairly mild.

A friend whos husband had cancer tried having a few of his favourite dishes pre-prepared and in the freezer waiting in case he fancied something. Her DIL berated her for feeding him pizza but it was what he requested.

Good luck with this new phase, we are all thinking of you.

This morning, he gobbled down 2 poached eggs on toast. It was good to see him eat so heartily. He skipped his last chemo treatment and it's been 10 days since his last one he received. I know once the chemo poison leaves his body he'll plump back to health. Thank you all for your suggestions to feed him.
