Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 805 | Kevin will be one year out from last tx at the end of this month. He is JUST getting his appetite back. Some days are better than others. He continued to lose or maintain for the first 7 months or so. Has been gaining a bit since. Things are just now beginning to taste a bit more normal.
I wouldn't worry too much unless he is extremely thin and/or sickly. He will get his appetite back soon enough.
