Where's the beef?

In my last round of chemo, I got Rituxan, 6 infusions of Cytoxan, 4 doses of Decadron, and 24 straight hours of Doxyrubicin, BUT they did leave off that nasty Vincristine - I was starting to develop some neuropathy in my hands and feet, so I guess Dr. Lonial decided to take it off the line-up. I'd had enough anyway. I know it may be a little early to tell yet, but so far, I feel better than average for this stage of the game. It HAS to be not having Vincristine. And I am starving.

My eating habits have changed profoundly . Before all of this, I lived on veggies and salads, cereals, little meat . I probably had not eaten 5 hamburgers in the last 15 years. Chemo has changed all that. After a week of chemo in the hospital, I CRAVE red meat. Yesterday, I got Jimmy to take me to LongHorns for lunch. I wolfed down a Flo's Filet, a loaded baked potato, and all the fresh bread and butter I could get my hands on. But by 5:30 that afternoon, I was famished again, so he took me to the Steak n Shake for a double cheeseburger and a bag of fries. That held me til supper.

Today wasn't so bad - I've only had one huge cheeseburger and a good-sized bag of sweet potato fries. I'll make up for it tomorrow - I want something BIG - like a 16 0z prime rib or a great big ribeye - don't gimme any green stuff - just meat and potatoes and lots of it.
