Every day it gets more difficult to swallow due to throat burn from radiation, and feeling junker than junk from the chemo. The doctors have ordered Jim to ingest - either orally or via the stomach tube - 5 cans of Boost-Plus daily, in order to maintain healthy body weight. There are 360 calories and lots of vitamins and minerals in each can. He's also trying soy mixtures sent by Marilyn in Colorado and Peter in Los Angeles.

No Fire Rock, Pale Ale or Guinness Stout after a hard day of chemo and radiation. The new regime makes Boost-Plus the standard cocktail. It's the Pre-hana, Hana, and Pau Hana drink of choice here on Round Top Drive
