Re: Post-irradiation weakness - diet?

Although my father did not undergo radiation therapy but chemotherapy, 
I would think the concept for physical well-being would be similar.  
His doctor prescribed liquid suppliments such as the product sold in 
the US under the brandname Ensure.  This "meal-in-a-can" contains 
proteins, vitamins, fiber, minerals, and other essential items.
