I am facing the same problem with my mom, she has loss a lot of weight. We struggle everyday to get her to eat and we don’t know what to do. All her taste buds are off. Things she liked to eat, she no longer likes.

Ever since my husband had his first chemo treatment on Dec. 11, he has been having trouble with eating. The last week or so, it has gotten worse. He can't keep anything down. As soon as he eats something, he throws up. He hasn't slept for 3 nights now. I know he is extremely tired and is probably losing more weight. All he does is vomit but it is the dry heaves because he really has nothing in his stomach. I would bet that he only weighs around 103 pounds now. I feel like I am just watching him waste away day by day. It is so sad. I feel so bad for him. To go through all of this to try to extend your life for a year or so. Is it worth it? I wonder. His cancer is late stage 4 so it is definitely terminal. His next treatment is Jan 2. I just hope he is strong enough to get through it-if he does not end up in the hospital. Prayers for your mom and you. That is all we can do. Put it in the hands of God.
