Ensure isnt as fatty.. but it helps and I dont know if it tastes better or not. They all taste alright to me..
but everyone reacts differently... so thats why I can only really list loss of appetite, loss of weight and nausea as the expected effects. It is also why I said IF she has chemo induced anemia they might try procrit, because it is a big IF.
Another thing is her age and the stage of her cancer, Im gathering that she isnt in the best of health to begin with and its going to be a heavy dose of chemo.. this might be hard for her or if she is in good shape like VitaminH said she could tolerate it well. Ive seen both extremes and everything in between happen. Hopefully things will just go smoothly, she will tolerate it well and everyone will come out better.
I hope things go well, be there for your friend and her mother. Support is what they will need most of all.
