Boost Drink Sustains Cancer Survivor Through Recovery

Glenn Deir, a retired journalist residing in St. John’s, shares his experience as a heavy consumer of Boost meal replacement drinks following throat surgery to remove cancerous tissues. Despite longing for solid food post-surgery, he relied on Boost and pureed meals to sustain himself. Due to swallowing difficulties, he underwent multiple tests and treatments, including radiation and chemotherapy, causing him to miss a planned moose hunting trip. The struggle with swallowing led to unforeseen challenges, but through perseverance and therapy, he eventually regained the ability to eat solid foods, marking a significant milestone in his recovery journey.
