Hi ladies, it's been while, I've been on various chemos since 2002,HER2+++ with some I've lost appetite,but not much weight. I have had a very difficult time with Doxil this year. I have little appetite, can't stand the smell of cooked foods. Tried meds, but not very helpful.
I have chronic bronchitis and a raised diaphram(complication of sugery-nicked phernic nerve, making it more difficult. Doc lowered Doxil, and gave me an extra week to rest
between rounds. My counts have been good, but I am on Neupogen for the first week,
Any experience and/suggestions? Any tricks to getting an appetite. I need to put on
about 20 pounds, with limited sugar and fat, gall bladder issues.
