Just don't feel like eating...
I am 5 days out from 1st round of chemo and I have no appetite. Is this normal? Nothing tastes right, and I can barely even get through my beloved coffee in the morning. Having minor GI issues as well, so very leery of eating anything too extreme. Forced myself to eat a banana, yougurt, and a bit of dinner (pasta) tonight.
I am doing OK with fluids, sticking to mainly water, tea, or Gatoraid. Should I go with my gut and just eat if I am hungry, or force myself to eat more?
