During my chemo, my girl friends all concerned about providing me with a healthy diet. Very nice of her but I didn't want to eat anything. My Oncologist said "No no no!" He can eat anything and everything. Just need calories.

Thanks for info. I too am not getting enough food; nothing tastes right and I have no hunger. Been doing premier protein a couple times a day and at least one decent meal as tolerated, also a complete vitamin..like I need another pill, right. Thanks!! Dave

@randman yeah, with chemo you eat whatever the hell you want, it’s already bad enough doing chemo, eating “Healthy” just adds insult to injury.
If you want to eat s’mores and ice cream cones then you go ahead and eat’em. Chemo is a terrible bargain, you get poisoned and suffer like hell with the hopes the cancer will die while you barely survive it. It totally sucks so you do whatever the Hell you think will make it more manageable for yourself. Tell your girlfriend to make you a cake, she needs to feed a little bit everyday!
You’re lucky man, I did this all single, having someone to make me meals would be nice.
