Dear Laurie: Excuse me for butting in, but I think your instincts are
entirely correct -- that if your mother would eat more, her energy levels
would be higher, and I do think her blood should be checked regularly. Mine
is, and I've been cancer free for over two years. Also, I got so sick of
Ensure when I was on chemo, that I reached the point where I couldn't look at
it. Still can't. It isn't the complete answer, and neither is a banana.
She must regain her appetite to regain her strength. It took me awhile, but
I finally got it back. If your mother is experiencing what I did, it's going
to take some time for food to taste normal again. Any additional ideas,
Lillian? Anyone?
Love, Kathy in Boise
