See a specialised doctor. There really is no better option.
Man, nowdays I don’t even trust my doctor. I would never do kemo. I would suggest eating pure ginger root. And habanero chilly peppers. Stop drinking the Fluoride poisoned water that is in most public tap water. Not only is Fluoride toxic to inner organs, also chlorine is also put in the tap water that is a known cancer causing agent. The only way to get the Fluoride out is to distil your water. First I would look at what is causing the problem, and not what will temporarily band aid it. That is what most dr’s are trained to do, just band aid it!! I heard also on this websight about people who used a low voltage treatment to they’re blood supply that cured this guys terminal cancer!!
Hope you do better!
Unfortunately your weight does not come back right away after you finished your chemo and/or radiation treatments. It took my son at least a good year before he put on and kept on 20 pounds. He lost approximately 70 pounds during treatment. He was only 15 at the time. He is now into his 4th year of remission and 21, and is only now really working out and keeping his weight where he wants it.
I’m not sure what is appropriate for diabetics to eat, but my son’s doctor suggested he take in more starches like rice, potatoes, breads and even bananas.
You really need to speak with your doctors to decide what foods and maybe light work out program would be best for you.
Hope this helps and I will add you to the list of patients I keep in my prayers.
all through my cancer treatments and even now after i have a dietician looking after me,it sounds like you need one have a word with your oncologist about how worried you are about not gaining weight.
