MarshaWiner,
Hi! In regards to your appetite I agree with the suggestions above. I tried to eat protein so ate bagels with peanut butter. Also I sipped on smoothies which really helped. And in regards to drenching night sweats unfortunately I just had to get through them. I remember changing my nightgown and bedding several times a night. But, they slowed down with the more treatments I had under my belt. So they will get better. I layed on a couple of towels so not to have to change the sheets each time, just get new towels. Again, mine got better with treatments. Sending you a hug my friend. Kelly

Great idea! When I was in the hospital during diagnosis and treatment I was on a cooling mat that worked wonders. But to have one at home yrs ago would have been so helpful. Kelly
