May I interject? I would like to see information re: abating appetite loss and nausea during and after treatment. I’ve read lots on adding probiotics, glutamine and even fish oil. It would be nice to have affirmation. It would also be nice to be given beneficial options or suggestions other than ‘take your anti nausea meds’. IMP yes they can help, but they do nothing to SOLVE the problem. They are ‘band aids’. Sorry to sound frustrated, but I am! There is so much information out there and there has to be better options/solutions~. Cheers.

Hello again- I can't blame you for sounding frustrated. And your question is certainly a valid one to ask- BUT it all depends on the stage of your cancer, if it has metastasized, your treatments, your other problems and your diet, and the fact that science does not answer all questions. We are very lucky to at least have these, and I know that you know it. They only treat this awful feeling.
There are many different things that you can do to help it be milder:

Have you tried all of these? I think that it will be something that you have to manage yourself, but if you do find a solution, please let us know!
