Need to be able to...EAT!
Anyone have any suggestions on how to stimulate my appetite? Im not even on a harsh chemo right now..Im on Tykerb and Herceptin. Ever since I quit the steriods...i can't eat. I never feel hungry, everything sounds nauseating, and I can only seem to choke down one or two bites. I am drinking Boost after my two bites, but good gosh its frustrating. I've lost 31 pounds now since I finished the steroids. The only time I have really been able to eat somewhat normally was when I had to go back on a low dose of the steroids for a couple weeks. My liver enzymes are elevated, but apparently not enough to cause this much of a reaction. I am on antinausea medication, ondansetron, so Im not really sick to my stomach, but I do feel nauseous when I try to eat. UGH!
