My sister is continuing to lose weight after receiving radiation for cancer in the back of the neck.  Her ability to eat has improved; however, her food intake cannot keep up with her weight loss, and so the weight loss is the bigger issue at the moment.  Is there any place she can go or any type of professional who will give her nutrients and/or food intravenously until she can begin eating again. thank you!
Dear Ma'am/Sir, Sorry to hear about your sisters' problem. Weight loss is a part and parcel of cancer treatment and a persons' appetite usually returns to normal within few weeks of the completion of the treatment. You should encourage her to take a healthy, well-balanced diet in addition to vitamin supplements. IV supplementation is not a solution to this problem, as it is associated with many side effects, specially infection, which can be severe in such patients. Toucan consult a dietician and have plan chalked out for her. Hoping for the best.
