When I feel like she does, I think about giving up, too. But then, the sun comes out, I feel better and there's no reason not to keep up the fight. Throughout her treatments, she'll have ups and downs. Joe is right. Talk to her onc about side effect treatments. They exist.
As far as the sweets go, buy her all the ice cream she can eat. The most important thing now is NOT to worry about sugar, but to keep her strength up and her weight, as well. This is all temporary. She WILL feel like eating again and she WILL want to keep fighting. Be strong for her and for yourself.
Love and light,
Lisa
