Hello, How do people cope with very dry mouth, no appetite, and the resulting weight loss due to this?
I am waiting to start treatment for my cancer, and am in medical limbo. The MDT have confirmed my kidney cancer, and it's spread to my lungs, but I am waiting for a biopsy of my kidney before the oncology team swoop in with life extended treatment - hopefully. So I have to wait a few weeks to get into the system.
Meanwhile, the symptoms are making it hard for me to nourish myself.
