Side Effects from Chemo

Resuming chemo 5 days ago also meant resuming a poor appetite with weight loss. Instead of begging Mark to eat, I asked his oncologist for the "megace" prescription that he had 3 years ago which successfully pulled him out of that problem. So tomorrow he will begin that and also his physical therapy. PT has taken so long to get set up. I'm sure it will be helpful too. It's been a vicioous cycle: eat less, be more tired. I'm hoping we break this cycle! Please pray with us for that to happen.

We will definitely pray for this...I think the megace worked well last time. My mom used that. No side effects, right?

Love & prayers, Abby:) (for J's)
