Liz,
I know what you mean about eating on time. I am going through radiation
treatment as well. I find that I have to eat or I become weak. The radiation
did affect my esophogus for about a week (a result of radiation to the chest)
and I could not eat because of the pain. But it did go away. After that, you
name it, I have been eating it. I am also tired in the evenings. Some days I
will have this burst of energy but if I act on it I become exhausted. I have
learned to tame the burst of energy.
You will find this funny. Chemo makes me eat. On my chemo days I pig out. I
think it is the anti-nausea pills (sterroids) they give me. Every week I go
to chemo I send my husband or father to the cafeteria to get me lunch DURING
my chemo.
And lunch is a 4 course meal. My husband thinks it is a riot. He just can't
get over it. There I am getting the chemo, pigging out on cheese tortellini
and creamed spinach soup. LOL!
They were so worried about my weight however, I have only lost 1 lb.
Anway, eat, rest and don't worry about the weight. Your body needs all the
nourishment it can get.
Donna
