Hello PLFC. Welcome to the group. I went through a very similar process as you. I echo what Brian states above. I kept a journal for everything. I eventually made a daily spreadsheet and scored everything from medicine, to eating, to exercise, to meditation/yoga, to frequent contact with loved ones, faith building, etc. On days I scored a 90+, I gave myself a special treat (favorite meal, trip to favorite hike, favorite movie, buy myself something small, etc).

It was not easy to keep 2000+ calories a day but i did it. And, I was able to make it through radiation losing around 10-12 lbs without a feeding tube. I am 5'11" and started at around 157 lbs so not much to lose but still battled to keep my weight up.

We are here for you. Any questions. etc. Hang in there.
