@nursed2075- Good morning. I'm checking in to see how you are doing. How is it for you having cancer and having the COVID-19 virus going around? Does it make things more difficult int he hospital when you have treatments?
I to had no appetite for 10 days after chemo but gradually ate to get strength back. Ate foods with lots of protein. Helped me get thru the 10 days recovery and than would go back for more. Did that for 7 months and said no more as that was not living. Was put on Keytruda for 2 years. Only thing I have trouble eating is leafy greens.🥲
@nursed2075- having cancer sucks and so does chemo. I drank tons of water to help get the chemicals out of my system. One of the chemicals that I had was cisplatin and that absolutely killed my appetite. I was also wiped out.
I forced myself to eat, small helpings of at least some protein. I also could handle pastries and the like.
Believe it or not exercising will help with energy.
What type of lung cancer do you have? Did you have any surgery?
Do you have family at home to help you?
