Hopefully Dean will try to eat and drink something. Here is info from the Mayo clinic about nutrition: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cancer/HQ01134

I am sure you will get the important info about the BMB from your doctor.
Kind regards

Thank you Birgitta!

I am trying so hard to find things that Dean would like. Even the nurse in the oncologist's office talks to Dean about the importance of eating, but he says he just doesn't have an appetite.

He will eat a little here and there, this afternoon he ate a quarter of a grilled cheese sandwich, he told me he had a craving for it. He is so thin now, less than 160 lbs, and he is 6 feet tall. He used to weigh 180 lbs.

I will keep trying.

Thank you again Birgitta!

Patti
