Good news; but gain some weight:
So happy to hear that you're feeling so great!!

I also needed to gain weight desperately, after dropping over 20lbs last fall. The girl that draws my blood at the lab told me about EAS SOY PROTEIN. You can get it at Wal-Mart.
It's near the vitamins section, I think...

I mix it with whole milk so that I get more calories. If you can't do dairy, you can mix it with water or any liquid. I didn't like it at first; I have the Chocolate flavor, but once I got used to the sort-of-gritty texture, I actually began liking it. It has more calories & protein than Instant Breakfast, Boost, or Ensure (I think! Chemo-brain...)

I actually use it as a meal replacement when I just can't eat. I swear it saved my life.

Keep up the great attitude, and keep in touch!!!

Is Megace ever prescribed for OVC?
I know they give Megace to people with eating disorders as well as to those with ER-positive cancers. It helps starve the cancer cells that love estrogen, and it also perks up your appetitie to the rip-roaring stage where you want to eat anything not tied down. My oncologist mentioned it this week for me,...for the estrogen inhibitor side; NOT for the weight gain! (I've recently put on 10 pounds that I don't need.)

I was VERY fatigued with the weekly low-dose taxol, having to lay down each day around 3 and taking a short nap before I could be productive again. But I'd go back on weekly taxol if I need to since it did such a good job of beating back my cancer quickly. So please don't worry that the fatigue means anything bad is going on again. (((((Linda))))).

I have my bunny in a cage with a pull-out tray like a bird cage that I empty every day, but I still have to get in there every couple of days and clean it out to get the urine smell and chalky pee residue out and clean up the little bunny hairs when she is shedding. I have a 4' square and 4' tall outdoor exercise yard (really meant for dogs) that I have set up near my computer, and I cut a plywood floor for it so the bunny wouldn't ruin my hardwoods. I have the bunny cage and exercise yard attached to each other on each side with 'S' hooks with both doors open, so my bunny has access to the larger space all the time. She never poops or pees in the exercise yard; bunny's are naturally clean little creatures. But even litter-trained, I could never let her run free in my house as she chews up everything she can. You might try a set-up like that. But you are right: every day that I am emptying her tray and wiping down her cage, I think "This is TOO much WORK!" But she's so cute and funny, and I do love her so much. In the past I always kept my rabbits in OUTDOOR rabbit hutches, and that really IS almost effortless, as the poops fall down into the garden below through the wire floor and you just have to hose the hutch down once a week or so. That's another option to consider.
