          Hi Jahendry12, thanks for checking on me, i caught my name in the main Community Post"s cuz i was gunna write to give another update, im doing better as of "today" unfortunetly my ER run was a waste of time, they did vitals, bloodwork, ran an IV Sodium} and kicked me out in like 4 hours with only a script for Compozine which was actually presribed by my oncologist, not ER Dr…still, my hunger went untreated till my wife brought home a half a bottle of Megace {wich i mentioned to ER nurse & Dr. but they failed to prescribe me that} my wife is a caregiver & just so happen the old man she cares for passed away Sunday night, the son of the elderly man said it was ok to take it, well, guess what? after 3 nasty teaspoons im eating like NORMAL and i no longer have that feeling of spitting out food! im 100% better! but, Kaiser didnt listen & i found out why. Megace runs about $400 a bottle haha…So, between my wife & i, weve basicly treated my own self with side effects, i bought CBD/THC oil wich took care of pains and somewhat the nausea, and she brought me Megace! whats wrong with this picture? haha..its all good, i feel like a million bucks today i tell ya that!when i woke this morning, i wasnt nauseated, i was hungry within a few hours "again" i was like woohoo! my strength is coming back, im not walking like Gumby anymore! Thanks for your concern! after im done here, i will go check out "your" bio and see your situation, thanks again J12 {for short lol}…Mike
