Let's discuss...weight gain or weight loss during treatment

law‍ have you tried making a "greek style" gazpacho soup? Not sure how i would go about it. Probably sprinkle grated feta over top. Not sure where to put the olives though, chop them finely and sprinkle them too maybe.... 

Thanks for sharing your info Lacey. 
As I mentioned going Keto was the right thing for me. Also, I mentioned I have my doctors support.  I should mention that once  had cut sugars out of my diet, I also don't have the cravings I had anymore. Its like sugar begets sugar in a manor of speaking. 🤣

Oh yes....when seeds + skins from tomatoes and cukes are removed, and little bits of olives + red onions are added, with  the feta it is yummy. Thx for your ideas.

Hazewind‍ - Great to hear!

My Dad gained weight over his first course of chemo (cisplatin and pemetrexed) for his lung cancer. He decided that since chemo could cause weight loss (partly due to loss of appetite), he would just eat all the steak and potatoes he wanted. (There were only the two food groups in his world.)

When he had to have a second course, it was a little different. In retrospect, I don’t think his heart was in it that time, because his second course happened when they discovered that his cancer had metastasized, so that course was part of his on-going palliative treatment. 

EdwardTrishSmith‍ , I am so sorry for what you went through with your wife at the end of her life. I did something similar during the last few weeks with my Dad, and it was terrible to watch. So much so, that I refused to allow the word “peacefully” in his obituary.

D1955‍ , I worked with a man who had a similar surgery to your husband, and I remember him carrying a water bottle with him everywhere after he returned to work. He said that this was especially important to have on hand when he was eating.

My husband has recently been diagnosed with high grade non hodgkin lymphoma.  He is 1/2 way through 6 rounds of R-CHOP and at his last doctors appointment he had gained 5 lbs in 3 weeks. He isn't eating more then he usually does and has been staying fairly active.  Is this common? I have only read about those that lost weight during.
