Welcome Judy. Sorry to hear all that is going on with you. I know it is small comfort but try to remember that it is all temporary. Hard to do, I know.
For neruopathy symptoms my onc recommended "Glutamine" an amino acid powder that you get in health food stores. You mix it with liquid. But right now it sounds like you have a challenge just getting nouishment. Have you tried using a straw to drink? Are you on meds for nausea?
I hope your doctors are able to find you some relief soon.
Keep us posted and keep the faith
Bonnie
