MRCC Cancer

Last reply: 23 August 2012 11:36

Hello, I am new to the forum.. just wish to know if anyone else has MRCC cancer.. my 59yr old husband was diagnosed 3wks ago!! it was all a big shock to us, as he wasnt unwell!! it seems to have started from a broken rib!! he is currently on Sutent 1 aday, and has a bone infusion once a month.. to strenghten his bones.. all this week he has had radiotherapy in Wwhitfield Clinic in Waterford, and they have been lovely. Just wish to know if there is any persons out there with the same condition, that I could chat to when I need them. Thanks. Image removed.

Dear Angelmagic,

I am sorry to read that your husband has lost his taste for food. This sometimes happens while undergoing certain cancer treatments.

I am sending you the link to our booklet about diet and cancer which has lots of hints and tips which might be useful to you in preparing his meals .You will find the link here http://www.cancer.ie/sites/default/file ... 2011_1.pdf

He could also ask to speak with the dietician in the hospital who may also be in a position to look at his dietary intake and give him further advice.

I hope that this information will be helpful.

Kind regards,

Cancer Information Nurse
