I'm starting new chemo on Monday.
I'm down to about 145# because I can't eat anything without it coming back up.
My last chemo was June 2nd and the tumors in my stomach leave no room for food so anything I attempt to eat (jello, applesauce, popsicles, etc.) Just comes back up in 5 minutes. When I do eat, my "meals" consist of 3-4 frozen grapes, which I have to peel because the skin tastes bitter, a spoon dunked in yogurt. Not actually scooping any out, just dunking it to coat it, two bites of a popsicle, or a piece of hard root beer flavored candy.
To top it all off, eating anything very cold hurts, so it's room temperature stuff now, unless I'm just rinsing and spitting.
I have to time my meds so I don't barf them up and it's exhausting.
I got a PICC line installed because I can't get chemo and IV nutrition from the same port.
The only cold thing I can tolerate is my Sonic ice.
