I week post radiation
It's one week post radiation and I'm feeling about the same. I was warned that I would continue to "cook" for a couple of weeks so the side effects could still peak. The problem I have is eating. It's not that I can't eat or that it's painful but that I just can't seem to force myself to eat. Everything tastes like cardboard so I don't WANT to plus with the disgusting thick mucus I tend to gag on everything even water. I had been chugging ensure but after last weeks fiasco I can't even look at one. Yesterday my total intake was a bannana, mini Haagen Daz ice cream bar and about 32 ouces of water. About 350 calories! You would think it would be really easy to just to eat something but it's like a mental block where I just can't force it down. I'm really hoping I have a quick recovery because if this keeps up for a long time I'm going to be in trouble.

So glad you are not having pain. In an earlier post you said if you could bottle this problem you could make a mint! Every womans dream, that food would just not be so appealing. Guess that old adage is true, be careful what you pray for.
ReplyDeleteHoping that this current problem resolves itself soon. Bon Appetit
Have you lost any weight? Did they say how long until the worst effects wear off?
