AMK,
The fact that Kim has gained weight is a very good thing. I take this as very good news given the nature of the challanges she's enduring. The anti-depressants should be helpful as well.
I had chemo as part of my treatment and I can categorically state that it was a much, much easier ride for me than the radiation.
While Kim is getting her chemo therapy, I would encourage you to research clinic trial possibilities for her.
My very best wishes...
