LOTS of great advice here...even for me as I've been struggling to keep the weight on...I'm 5'3, been down to 108 and usually weigh 115!!

My oncologist told me from the beginning to keep the icecream/milkshakes going!!!

I've also spoken with my nutritionist from the beginning...and yes, Boost, Ensure Complete...3 a day if I can't eat and have lost too much weight!

I like to through in my blender, frozen strawberries, blueberries, banana's...ice cream, whole milk, etc...when I'm up to it! Mix it up..or ice cream, little peanut butter & chocolate...or caramel...

For me...each day has a different flavor...

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS, HANG IN THERE!!!
