Guest guest Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi Pat, My Dr. didn't mention any diet but by this time I was lucky to be eating much at all. I have lost 30 pounds (now 120) since starting tx. I just try and get whatever calories I can into me. I am lucky so far with no issues other than the nausea, weakness and extreme shortness of breath. Still off of work and probably will be for the duration. I have an appt with my dr tomorrow but it looks as though I still have another 11 months of tx to go. Well at least I haven't lost all of my hair (about half). I can ask at my appt if there is a special diet. Good luck and hope that you feel better soon.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi Jerri, just wondered about diet as mine never said anything either. I am starting to believe they possibly were talking about other type patients. Those were my sides also was lucky but now real sick but I do think possibly procrit is doing it.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi Pat, Back from the doc's and I asked about the diet on Procrit. He said that the only thing that he has heard about is eating green leafy veggies (folic acid). Hope you feel better soon. I too am off for a nap.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hi Pat, Sorry that you are still feeling bad. I too am not at my best and am trying to get ready to move. From a two bedroom apt with a two car garage to a one bedroom without a garage. You can imagine how much stuff I am going to need to go through. Now is the time that I wish I had a man in my life lol. Hang in there, Jerri --- patricia wrote: > Thank you Jerri will keep that in mind.
