Managing to not loose so much this go around on radiation, and since I stopped the chemo my appetite has come back even if the saliva hasn't.
When they were taking my blood pressure while I was doing chemo it was normal, at rest I know it can go down as low as 98/60 sometimes. Heart rate at rest something like 65. So low blood pressure probably a factor again.
As for the being cold business, sounds like this is a fairly normal happening. Will talk to the oncologist about checking thyroid, etc, just in case.
Low blood supply to the brain? Some would claim I've had that all my life, what else is new!
