Gloria:
I had problems with eating difficulties while I was getting radiation therapy for a spinal cord tumor. I did not feel like eating anything and lost a lot of weight. I would suggest eating 5 small meals a day. This helps so you're not overwhelmed by food. If you crave something I would get it as soon as you can and just eat a little of it. I ate popsicles, bagels, yogurt, mashed potatoes and granula bars and just a little bit of chicken that was roasted and kind of bland. Not all at once of course. Sometimes I would only eat a half of a half of a bagel that was all I could handle. That's why I would eat more often. Have you tried any of the food supplements drinks like Ensure? They have a lot of calories and vitamins. I am not sure how they taste. Is your mouth ok? Do you have any sores that are keeping you from eating?
