Loss of appetite is a common challenge for cancer patients, and there are several FDA-approved options that oncologists may prescribe to help stimulate appetite. Speaking with the healthcare team about this concern is the best first step, as they can evaluate which appetite stimulant might be most appropriate based on the specific medical situation and any other treatments being received.

The doctor gave him Marinol he took his first dose yesterday but I was thinking if he just did the Canabas maybe that would work better. Have you ever tried the Marinol first? I may tell him to try Canabas
