Hello and thank you for posting.
I am so sorry you are struggling with weight loss as a side effect of cancer and its treatments. It can be incredibly hard to gain weight at this time, but we do have information about dietary problems on our website if at all helpful.
The World Cancer Research Fund also has a helpline and website that focuses on nutrition if useful.
Do talk to your doctor and /or specialist nurse (CNS) who knows you and your cancer in case they have any other suggestions or can prescribe medications or supplements that can help.
Take care, and if you want to talk to the nurses on the helpline then do call on freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines are open mon-fri 9-5.
Sarah.
