Needs To Eat

Subject: needs to eat
Date: 08/22/2007

My 77 year old dad was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer in early July of this year.  It has already spread throughout the abdomen.  As a nurse, I know all about cancer in general but do not know anything about the daily problems.  I am away from my parents and only get information from my siblings.  Main problem is how to get Dad to eat.  He is losing weight and says he is not  hungry, denies nausea or vomiting.  Mom is pushing Ensure at him all day long which he drinks most of it.  Any other suggestions on stimulating appetite would be appreciated.
