Also try juicing or smoothies. You can juice veggies and fruits. Like Iris said - small bites to start. Keep him hydrated with gateraid or pedia-lite ( it's in the baby food section of your grocery store). Baby food is also a possiblity, it's just very bland, but easy to digest. You may need to add salt to it. If all eles fails ask for a P.I.C. line for IV feeding until he is able to eat on his own. Keep trying - any thind and every thing - never give up or give in.
Good luck to you and your Dad. My husband lost his battle with bile duct cancer Jan 14, 2008. I hope you and your family don't live the nightmare that we did. Stay strong and positive.
