1. Same problem here

I'm also on Taxol and am not interested in eating. I'm sure I'm well under a 1000 cal. a day. Tonight I had mashed potatoes and gravy for supper and gave half of it to the dog. I just came down stairs and made myself a half of a peanut butter, celery and carrot sandwich. I feel stuffed. Exercise is the last thing to worry about. If my husband suggested that I walk a lap around the inside of our house, I would throw something at him. Going to the bathroom is plenty of exercise. I've been on chemo 12 days and have lost 13 pounds. Let Carol browse where food is concerned. She'll know when she can eat. This, too, will improve. Hang in there. cmd
