I started treatment for lung cancer nine months ago-radiation and chemo together at first- now just chemo. There are so many different chemo drugs and different reactions to them. I have been very lucky so far- no vomiting,very little weight loss. The whole thing has been much better then I expected it to be. I have gotten the best help from the nurses giving the treatments, they deal with side affects every day. I eat almost everything that I ate before most of the time, some days I am just not hungry, on those days I eat soup,crackers, juice or boost. I drink the boost very cold, thru a straw-it helps. I wish I could help you more, this is going to be a day to day thing for your Dad and for you. Fatigue has been my worst problem- there is medication for that and it helps alot. I hope your Dad is also lucky, God Bless.
