doc says gain weight! chemo &food aversions

[Rich66]

Dunno. Would be hesitant to add much esoteric elements to chemo. In the last week I've seen suggestion that steroid pre-meds and maybe opiate pain relievers might interfere with chemo. Fairly common supplements can be of question. Some nutrition stores have weight gain supplements but hey may contain soy which conflicts with ER+ cancer. I think Megace is a common app stimulant for cancer patients. Maybe mirtazipine. GNC type nutrition stores have weight gainer supplements but you have to watch what's in them. The gall bladder issue does complicate things reagarding fats. I believe muscle weighs more than fat so weight training might help. To start, you might list your cancer characteristics in your signature.
