MUCOSIS is a gross side effect thta is difficult to del with, I have been sleeping in a redliner from the onset of mucosis. Thick viscous gross spit, could choke you.. Expectoration doesn't come easy and swallowing is difficult but I am still adamant , no tube.
I eat 4 ensures/prosures daily plus a protien shake at night. They are occasionally tough to get down, but I get them down. When I received my daignosis I weighed 370 pounds, with Dental healing and now 22 of 39 Radiatiion and 5 of 8 Chemotherapy. I now weigh 328 pounds. My doc pitches a fit when I lose 2 pounds.
So they promote no weight loss even for obese people.
