Thanks all! It's unclear. Not really eating much food bc of taste; just Boost VHC. Was just Wondering if maybe it was somehow Rads or chemo related, but I think prob not. Have addressed the constipation issue and am off narcotics but could def still be a factor. Anyway I'm really hoping it will just pass -- seeing Rad Onc tomorrow so will see if any insight. And I know I sound so impatient with recovery. I am really working on gratitude and patience; this is just such a longer road than I truly anticipated. Some days are harder than others. I'm actually very thankful to have small kids; they keep me from fully falling apart. I'm amazed that more people doing this do not! Thanks again!
