I was told by my chemo nurse that I had lost 7 lbs. In 7 days, I explained that the radiation therapy was causing my throat to be so sore I can hardly swallow, she said I should start a liquid diet based on 2500 calories per day to start gaining back my weight. The radiation Dr gave me a compound prescription to lower the pain and allow me to swallow easier, hope this works.
