[cancercured] What do I need to do to get my mom eating?

I posted here awhile back about my mom (lung cancer stage IV). She had
surgery to remove part of her colon, and since then she has lost weight
quickly. She needs to get her strength back before any treatment, but
it seems like the recovery from the surgery is going to get her. I have
tried everything to get her to eat, but am looking for new ideas.

She is on anti-biotics for thrush, an anti-nausea med and a lomitil for
bathroom problems. Today her CNA got her to eat a full fruitcup, then
she threw it all up....What can I do? I have tried everything I thought.

Thanks,
Clint
