Like so many others recovering I'm having "eating issues: and want very badly to get off the tube feedings. While I can eat a little bit it's not nearly enough for calorie intake to replace the tube. My dietician and chemo oncologist suggested two different prescriptions for appetite stimulation, since I'm not even getting the hunger cues. Weird, but I don't feel hunger. Anyway, the two appetite stimulants they suggested were Marinol and Megestrol. I already filled the prescription for Megestrol, but wonder if anyone has had any success with it. I've also been taking Salagen for saliva production but haven't noticed much improvement yet.
