All my mom's doc says is eat what she can handle and try to keep her sugar under control. By the way, how's your immune system holding up with all this?

I never lost my appetite. In fact, I think I put on 8 lbs. over the seven weeks just because I was worried about it dropping.

I did notice I started to gravitate towards sugary foods towards the end of the seven weeks, but, what the hell - I figured that a couple of cookies wasn't going to do any more harm than what I already had going.

Immune system was fine. Was taking some such antibiotic during radiation just to be careful. Doctor said that my organ functions were all perfect through the whole deal. Said she wouldn't have known that I was doing chemo and radiation for Stage 4 brain cancer if she didn't have the charts in front of her.
