We certainly all have different experiences. While on chemo alone I was sick as a dog; actually became malnourished. With radiation/chemo together absolutely no nausea and basically had a normal appetite. Now that all is behind me while I wait for a PET scan next month, I am ravished. Making up for lost time and having to lock the kitchen!

I was on steroids during much of that time (also due to a brain met) and was always hungry even on the days when I had nausea from chemo. It did pass once I finally tapered off the Dexamethasone, but I remember that feeling.

Yes, when I was on chemo despite how sick I was I had to keep something on my stomach. This sounds gross but I would vomit at first like I emptied my system out and then be able to eat. I mainly wanted sandwiches or cheese and crackers. I ended up gaining weight on chemo.

I have had radiation, chemo, and immuno therapy. Now only on immuno therapy. I have been very lucky I never got nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite. I am eating much healthier but about the same amount as I did before treatments. I have gained about 5 pounds but I am very small so for me it is a good thing .

Me too! I get keytruda every 6 weeks I’m always hungry. I’ve gained to much weight!
