What Medications Can Help Improve Appetite After Undergoing Chemotherapy And Radiations For Lymph Node Cancer?
I am 54yr old woman, had oral cancer 6 years ago, and 1 yr ago had a neck dissection , 40 lymph nodes removed and 5 were cancerous, had chemo n radiation. I have no appetite n have lost so much weight, I am looking for an over the counter or prescription medicine that will open up my appetite and that is safe , least possible side effects. Maybe one for children, I know of Megace but not safe for a person with my history . There has to be something, I hope you can help me , I need it quick . I can be reached at 917-667-1575 if you have any questions . Or will be expecting your e-mail. Thank You , Ms Yvonne Camacho

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I appreciate your concern, as a matter of fact all the allopathic agents have some side effect so you have to go for something else, and I would advise for taking fresh fruit juice this really will bring back the appetite this the very good option you have and in my opinion this is worth trying, have nice day.
