I am 29 and am being treated for breast cancer. My onc told me he was concerned about my current weight. I start chemo (A/C) in a few days and he says there will be weight loss. I weigh 105 pounds. Any ideas on foods that can give me weight gain besides unhealthy foods? Any answers would be most appreciated. Thank you!

We found that marijuana helped a great deal. My boyfriend gained 10 pounds during chemo with the help of pot. You should try and find a reliable grower who you know.
Betty Crocker has a great cancer cookbook that we got at the library with great tips on how to add calories and deal with other side effects.
Ensure Plus and Cliff Bars are available at Sam's Club in bulk, those pack in the calories AND vitamins.

Hi, my mom went through chemo d/t uterine cancer (5 yrs. survuval this june) Anyway, ensure shakes made with ice cream helped a lot, cheesecake!!, peanut butter on whole wheat. The extra fat calories right now are your friend.
Sweet potatoes are easy to digest, you can up the calorie content with some organic butter and brown sugar or backstrap molasses (lots of vits and iron in it). Try to find good, organic,grass raised beef as well and indulge as much as you can.
Here is a good link that was a lifeline for us . We'll keep you in our prayers, Blessings - dd
