Gail and Barry As a Brit I can relate to the pear shapped comment very well. I am receiving Rad 16 tomorrow and will also be at the half way mark. I was not given a peg and I am finding it very hard to keep up my calorie intake. Loss of 15lbs in three weeks but I was heavy to start with. I have no real throat discomfort but have terrible mucus prodution which causes dry retching from time to time (not pleasant at all). It really interferes with my hydration efforts. I am pretty fed up with boost and any vanilla flavoured nutritional drink right now. My second cisplatin treatment is on Sept 6th so that is something to look forward to after the holiday weekend! Keep posting it is good to read about another at the same point.
