One of my goals for this week is to find a naturopathic doctor to help us learn more about alternative treatments and natural ways for Lily to cope with her back pain and the side effects from the chemotherapy. I found a number for East Valley Naturopathic Doctors and a doctor who specializes in pain management and cancer treatment and am going to make an appointment, but if anyone knows of a good naturopathic doctor or has any ideas, I would be grateful.
My other goal is to get Lily eating! I am so glad she hasn't yet had much problems with nausea; she wore sea bands all week and I don't know if that has helped, but she is keeping them on just in case. However, Lily really doesn't have an appetite and it's been a challenge to find foods that she will eat that are healthy yet bland enough not to upset her stomach. She does like homemade soups, pasta and smoothies but the same thing over and over gets old. Any good recipes or ideas on sneaking vitamins into her food would also be welcome.

Alicia, I know the lack of appetite is not uncommon. I will talk to some friends that have been through chemo and see if they have any tips or ideas. I also know the lady who plays a huge role in the Cancer Center at Chandler Regional and see if she has anything that can help. Lastly, the Dr. that I used to work for did a lot of stuff with naturopathic stuff as well as being a D.O. so I will see what I can dig up for you. Hugs to all of you! Please let me know if there is anythign else that you need or that we can do to help. Love Chandra
Thank you, Chandra! The more information we can get, the better.
