a year agoI’m on weekly taxol. Has anyone experienced being hungry all the time? I’m always hungry.
Accepted Answer
Changes in appetite, including increased hunger, can happen during cancer treatment and may be related to various factors including medications, steroids that are sometimes given alongside chemotherapy, or the body's response to treatment. Many patients in this community have shared similar experiences with appetite changes during their treatment journey, so connecting with others here who understand what you're going through can be really valuable.
