The issue of food appears not to be very clear. Some school of thought will say do not eat meat, sugar etc, another says you can eat these. For me, I eat them but moderately. Moderately from fear lol...

Hello,
The chemo I am on is not affecting my eating but the radiation treatments after 2 weeks have significantly affected my eating. I can only eating cream soups and ice cream at present, or anything very creamy and soft. I crave flavor which has diminished significantly as well.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
