the doctor can give her a prescription of the chemical(can't remember the name of it) that give you the munchies, don't worry, it doesn't do anything else, just makes you hungry. We had it for Kendall when she was going thur chemo, thought she was going to eat us out of our house and home. My mother drinks warm jello, its loaded with carbs. The military survival courses recomends it for use when you need high energy and caloric intake. Its easy on the stomach as well. They have been giving my mother a shot two days after chemo, its helps her get back on her feet after chemo, don't know whats its called, but it really helps, most hospitals won't use it unless you have real good insurance, I understand its $10,000 per shot, yeah you read that right, $10,000.00. If she starts taking oral chemo, be carefull with teh pills, they are $1200 per pill
