@dragonfire I can assure you, even though things seem dreadful now, they will get better. Your life has been changed to save it, and sometimes that is hard to accept. I'm 20 years out and have gotten to be a part of my 4 grandkids' lives. Though I wish the treatment wasn't so brutal, I'm glad for the opportunity it gave me to live my life. I wish the same for you. Good luck!

Try high calorie Boost. It’s 530 calories in an 8 oz. drink, only available on internet (Amazon). Get vanilla and don’t fret about eating. I’m 2.5 years out and it’s a slow process but I had exact diagnosis as yourself and it will improve. I still don’t eat like BC (before cancer) and it took 2 years to gain most of my weight back. Get to the gym and don’t just add ballast!
