Liza, Im so sorry!!!! I am praying for you. Im so glad you have become a member of OCF so you have so many people helping you to deal with this. You have gone thru this once and now you must do it again. It can be done but its not easy especially doing radiation.

Right now try to eat all you can without worrying about calories. Eat all your favorites, its ok to gain a few pounds. Your eating will be changed for a while. Dont worry about this, its only temporary.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
