Well eating again is a step forward at least. It may take a while Patrick. I have no real idea because I am in post treatment recovery myself. I guess I am lucky, most things I can't taste at all but I can eat. I have basically been living on Raisin Bran w/ almond milk and progresso chicken noodle soup. The soup has liquids and carrots and some protein, I eat 3/4 of them a day. Best I can do really. I have lost coming up on 30lbs myself. We just have to tough it out I suppose, look for small improvements that help keep our eyes facing forward and spirits up. This is only my 5th day out from rads, 8 days out from my last dose of chemo so I haven't seen a lot of improvement yet personally. Not sure what to tell you but to hang in there and don't give up. Everyday forward is a day of healing.
