a month agoAppetite comes and goes. Today I had a big sandwich because I hadn't eaten much in two days and have been dizzy for three days. On Lonsurf and have low red, white counts and low ANC. Wife asks if there is something I can take for it. Im like "there's something I could not take" but that would shorten the trip. Anyway, just venting. Keep up the fight.

a month agoManaging appetite and dizziness during treatment can be incredibly challenging, especially when dealing with low blood counts from medications like Lonsurf. Many patients find that eating small, frequent meals and staying hydrated can help with both symptoms, though it's definitely worth discussing these side effects with the medical team to see if there are safe options to help. The community here understands how exhausting these treatment effects can be, and sharing experiences like this helps others know they're not alone in facing similar struggles.

4 days agoI was told to eat 8 small meals. I hear you on the almost non existent appetite. I was told to try to sip om boost shakes to keep nutrients. Its hard. We're gonna make it!!

4 days agoI need to try that. The chocolate and vanilla boost makes me nauseous.
