Hi Brenda,
Are you going this alone? I mean, besides all of us, of course! ;o)
Also, I will tell you that Kevin lost about 56 pounds total throughout tx. MOST (35)of that was after the 3rd week of radiation. He drank 2-3 Ensures, had 1 milkshake a day, plus ate lots of eggs and oatmeal the entire time, but I don't think it was enough claories. He actually loses really fast even now if he doesn't keep up his calories. He has been losing/gaining about 8 pounds for the last couple of months.He has been overweight for 25 years, so losing doesn't come easy for him. This was all tx. He just got home from Alaska and was down the 8 again. He will gain some of it back the next 19 days, but then he's off to work again in the great white north for 3 weeks. They have tons of food there, but he just doesn't take a lot of time to eat much. He's a perfect weight for him now though, so I think he's trying to maintain.
Just some "food" for thought!!
Oh, we also used the Silvadene (sp) cream. GOOD stuff. It goes on the burns once they start.
