I'm so sorry to hear that Liz is having difficulty with her chemo. I was afraid of this and with no food to help absorb acids she must feel extremely ill. Do you know how much weight she has lost? What do her doctors say?
May I make a suggestion that you back off pressuring her to eat? This really doesn't work, as you are seeing, and may make matters worse. I think perhaps that the stress she is feeling increases with the pressure to eat? I'm not sure that she will eat no matter what you do.
I wish that I could talk to her. Do you think that she would be willing, in a private message maybe?
