Im glad that the yoo-hoo works for you. Thats one thing I drank throughout my treatments even with a sore mouth. Ive since moved up to chocolate milk which is thicker and more calories.
It sounds like you are making some amazing progress. With just finishing treatments last week, you must have alot of energy to be stacking wood. Be careful of exerting yourself too much. Right now your body needs extra calories and rest to heal from the ordeal of treatment. For me, I was in bed for 3 weeks after treatment and even ended up in the hospital.
Have you tried eating food? The easiest food for me was yogurt. Dannon banana is very creamy without the chunks most yogurts have.
