Every single day take in at least 2500 calories and a minimum of 48 oz of water (more of both is MUCH better). This will unfortunately get progressively harder as your treatments continue. Push yourself and it will help you to get thru it easier.
I know its not easy to get thru. My heart goes out to you and all those in the midst of their treatments. Hang in there, we will help you get past this bad spell.
