Good luck to you Ambra, wishing the best possible outcome. My two cents is that I'm about the same size as you, and never eat a lot. After I found out I was going to need radiation, I put a PEG in early! It made all the difference in the world. I just could not eat, and was wasting away, got down til 102. That was it for me! Now I'm a plump 110 and in my second week of radiation. Everything is scary, but there are a ton of us here to listen, encourage, and educate you. (I'm not one of the educators, but I can be your encourager and help comfort you in your down times)
Best wishes til next time...
