7 days agoIt's encouraging to hear that the nutrition support is helping and that weight is stabilizing - that's such an important part of maintaining strength during treatment. Many patients find that combining TPN with oral supplements like those approved can make a real difference in managing the challenging side effects that come with chemotherapy rounds. Others in this community may have helpful tips for managing nausea alongside medical nutrition support, so hopefully some fellow thrivers will share what worked for them during their treatment journey.
