If a person has intestinal cancer and they can't get their weight up to start chemotherapy what challenges could they face?

Chemo is long and tiring and physically hard on the body. You need to make sure you are in the best possible weight before you start because it is going to take a lot of effort to get through. If not, you will not have enough strength and - to be blunt - you risk dying.

During chemo you will be nauseous and will not want to eat. You will be irritable, sleepless and physically weak. Have you spoken to your specialist about diet?

If you had part of your intestines removed, food will move through you a lot quicker and therefore your body will not absorb the necessary vitamins and calories. You need to eat a special diet (and avoid some foods!) and eat in a particular manner when you have has this operation. Try eating 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
