@dragonfire Maybe try to focus on the fact that your treatments are over and each week, I know it's easy for me to say all this ,but you will feel a little better than last week. Lots of gravy! Can you eat pie maybe with ice cream?

The Thanksgiving dinner was well enjoyed by the family except me I could taste very little very disappointing after all the work. I have tried lasagna, Asian, beef stew and can taste very little. Eating has become a needed chore without enjoyment. My unhappiness and frustration will be a major part of my discussion with my oncologist on Monday. I really hoped after almost 8 weeks I could taste and eat better which is not the case. I regret everyday that I put my body through this and to know this was my only choice other than the other side of the grass. Here is it 2025 and this barbaric treatment is all we have. I have a complete write up containing my symptoms, feelings, goals, expectations and life plans to discuss during my oncologist visit.
