Hi! I had a tremendous appetite when I was on Chemo caused by the high dosage of steroids that I had to take because of my reaction to Oxiliplatin.
It was the weidest thing, I would come out from getting Chemo and head straight to the hospital cafeteria and eat two sandwiches. Then on the way home hubby would make a stop at "Timmies" and I would eat a bowl of soup and another sandwich.
2 days after Chemo I would be sick as a dog and couldn't eat anything but boiled rice and a little chicken stock.
The steroids are the thing that "did the number" on me I bulked up - used to joke that I was in training for the Canadian Olympic weight lifting championships
I gained about 40 pounds
