My grandfather is suffering from brain cancer and won’t eat anything, how can I get him to eat?

i know its a typical question but he has brain cancer and we just cant seem to get him to eat anything. he does have some mood swings but i just dont know what to do. he does drink some chocolate flavored vitamin drink but he only drinks it out of the glass ,, not out of a straw and we dont want him to spill . but thats about it .

Is there anything that was/is his favorite food? Whatever that is, give it to him. If it's ice cream, then give him ice cream till it comes out his ears. Whatever tickles his fancy.
