Hi David, We share the same treatment.
I am attempting to keep the same routine as before the chemo. Iv chemo exhausts me but a couple days following, I push and keeping up!
I altered the antibiotics to a half hour after the chemo, Also, added nexium which has improved digestion.
Prayers for you!

Hi!
I force fed myself for the first couple months. Also, tried to find food that has taste.
At six months post- transplant, cookies after dinner helps.

slowly is eating smaller meals a day and supplement with ensure plus, twice daily.
