Re: Need to be able to...EAT!
What a conundrum! Could it possibly be a side effect of one of your meds? What does your doctor have to say? I'd there a nutritionist or dietitian associated with your treatment facility who you could consult with? I had some anorexia ( lack of appetite) during treatment but was able to eat small amounts of high calorie foods like cheese, eggs, yogurt etc in frequent small amounts. And Boost. I lost a good amount of weight but I managed to stay nourished. Let us know what you find out. Keep the faith
