Seeking Help-Losing weight/Indigestion/Constipation

Good day,

My wife has just seen the onco 2 days ago, her weight has drop again by 1.5kg/3.3lbs within a month; dr recomend to take prosure - does this helps? Is it loaded with sugar?

She is originally a little underweight before diagnosis and think its not good to lose any further.

From her dianogsis till now, 13 months ago, she has lost about 15% of weight; about 6.5kg/14.3lbs; but most of the weight loss happened over the last 3 to 4 months after taking the damn iv chemo, cisplatin.

Onco also recommend another chemo cycle, we delayed it by another 3 weeks and think we will delay further due to weight loss and abdomen pains; and these make her eat less and hence losing weight.

On her abdomen pains, x-ray show bubble/gas in stomach caused by indigestion and constipation. he is given Lactulose, Senna Tablets, Ducolax for constipation.

Any advice to get rid of the bubble/gas? Can she take Gas-X or something? Will Tagamet/cimetidine help?

A week ago, She has started fresh organic goats milk 250ml per day, fish oil 3.6g per day, B-complex 50 and will start black seed oil/nigella sativa oil next week - Can this oil help to gain weight or stop cachexia?

Besides hydrazine sulfate, is there any other food and supplement that proven to stop or reverse cachexia...

Though I do not want her body to handle too much tablets/capsules/supplements....I am very worried that her body is unable to fully digest/absorb the food and supplements....

Kindly help, please...all valuable help and advice greatly appreciated.

Thank you all...
