Nutrition & Acupuncture

Yesterday I sat down with a nutritionist. I really enjoyed my visit with her. We reviewed what I currently eat and she seemed happy with it. She let me know how many calories and how much fluid I should be consuming daily. She also gave me a few ideas on how to pack in a few extra calories when I don't feel like eating. I never thought there would come a day when I didn't want to eat, but I see it getting close. The nausea is really becoming bothersome so today I'm going to hit it with a double-shot. I got a prescription (can't remember the name, but it's not zofran or phenergan) and I had acupunture. The acupuncturist also sent me home with seeds taped to my ear so that I can press them on some pressure points. It's supposed to help with nausea, dry mouth & some unrelated back pain. I've got one hardcore acupuncturist. I had always heard that it didn't hurt, but this lady wants to make sure you feel something, otherwise, apparently, it's not working/hitting the right spot. My motto is "whatever works!" Now I'm off to CVS to pick up my prescription. Radiation comes later this afternoon. Did I mention my white skin is starting to turn a lovely shade of pink?
