I had my appointment with the head/neck surgeon yesterday - he was concerned about the weight loss (I had lost an additional 2 pounds since my appointment with the radiation oncologist the week before). He is checking out my thyroid function and my nutritional status (had my blood drawn for those things today) and said that if I lose any more weight or if my nutritional status shows up negatively, then they have an appetite stimulant he will order.

Thanks everyone for so many great suggestions!
