Ricky958,

Glad you found us, sorry your hear. To get the most out of OCF provide as much info as possible. Somebody here has probably gone thru what you are going thru right now and has seen it a done it. Having gone thru rads/chemo 9 mo ago, I can tell you that it will get a little worse before it gets better. For me I saw some improvement 5 week post treatment and really turned the corner 7 weeks post treatment. From there is gets better but ever so s...l...o...w.

Calories and water is top priority. You will hear it again and again. Eat, drink or use the PEG. One way or another you have to get as much food and water in you as possible.

Watch out for Thrush (burning tongue).
