Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help. My husband had his auto stem cell transplant on 1/10. His hospital course was pretty unremarkable and he came home early, on day 10 post transplant. The problem is he continues to lose lots of weight. He has lost about 30 pounds in 2 and 1/2 weeks. He is eating, but he looks skinnier to me from night to morning and this is confirmed by the scale. Docs don't have much to say, I am worried about the myeloma.
Any suggestions/ideas about what is wrong or what to do would be greatly appreciated.

Try juicing (fresh fruits and vegetables). I went through that with my mom and fresh juices go right into the bloodsteam. Whatever you do, keep him away from sugar! Sugar feeds cancer...it has been proven. Everything you eat has sugar in it...artificial and natural. Try the juicing or some of those sugar free boost and energy drinks.
Godd luck and take care of yourself.
