Thanks, Dave.

Yes, breakfast is full fat cream in coffee, plus whole milk in shredded wheat & higher fat granola. I have diverticulitis, and do not want a flare during this, so fiber is good to ward it off. My wife is on my case about the protein, though eggs are not of interest now. I did manage a ground turkey casserole for lunch yesterday, and a few bites of a chicken dish, rice and veg last night for dinner.

For a guy who was at best 20-30 pounds over my "ideal" weight for my adult life (when I wasn't 50 pounds over it), it's such an irony to be doing shakes of full fat ice cream, full fat creamer, full fat milk and I can't taste any of it.

I started treatment plumping up 194 or so (from my pre-treatment regular weight of about 189) and finished treatment about 184 on Monday. Now I'm about 178, and will try to put a bit back on for the next week or so.

BTW, my white blood count was pretty good after the second chemo treatment, so I expect my immune system is not totally shot.
