I lost my appetite big time and was losing quite a bit of weight between cycles (I'm 5'6' and went from 145 which was very heavy for me to 125 lbs) in a matter of a couple months. I found I like VERY specific foods and could eat those. My BF's chicken fried rice, BBQ steak, and salmon and rice. I just experimented until I found a few things that surprisingly I could eat. All the things I typically ate and loved were out the window - sweets had zero appeal to me. But most things with rice and a protein, like chicken teriyaki or a piece of fish were edible. I also liked oranges, generally the little cuties because they were so small and I could eat an entire one or split one.

Good luck, I know I went close to three days w/o an ounce of food and that got a little scary but I got naueous and vomited when I started having hot flashes. That was worse than the chemo!
