Thanks everyone for your replys. Leon was always a big eater. All day long he ate. But, he works a very physical job and would wear it off and stay in good shape, (he's a steel worker) so this no appetite thing is really worrying him. He lost about 20 lbs. during treatment, did not have a peg, and was not on much pain medication - no pain medication at all now. Other than this taste-appetite thing and extreme fatigue and extreme dry mouth, he came through things fairly well. I will show him these e-mails and maybe it will ease his mind about not having an appetite. Thanks again and take care everyone!
