Re: Just don't feel like eating...

I will say that for me it was not really that my taste was affected but I just had no appetite. Food didn't appeal to me. So we are all different in that regard too
I have heard it recommended to use straws to drink if beverages taste bad to you...
Important to keep weight up. Once my onc cautioned me that much more weight loss might compromise my treatment regime
I agree with those who said they wish to have kept off some of the weight lost. I gained it back, and more. Because I indulged myself. And don't regret it. But I'll never forgive a friend who said she envied me because she always thought getting cancer would be a good way to lose weight! And then you get treated and the cancer goes away and you're thin! Viola! Can you imagine! The stupidity of people knows no bounds
Keep the faith
