Hello everyone, I’ve done 2/6 rounds of RCHOP. And I absolutely want nothing to do with eating any meat. Has anyone else experienced this? How much of it is mental vs. physical? I’m wondering if this is just a temporary thing?

It started when someone gave us bbq for dinner and just the smell of the chicken made me gag. The most I’ve been able to stomach is a few pieces of bacon at breakfast time. I ate a sausage at dinner today and it hurt my stomach.

I know chemo changes your appetite and cravings. What are some ways that I can get protein in? I’ve had to cut out nearly all meat not by choice. I’ve tried hard to up my daily intake of fruits, vegetables, and carbs to ensure that I’m getting enough calories. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Struggling today. I know it‘s time to shave my head. I’m losing so much hair in the shower. I’m use to having short hair from the military, but I really don’t want to do it. I feel like it’s the last piece of identity I have. Since now people will be able to see the diagnosis on the outside. Just looking for a random internet person to tell me that it’ll be alright.

I believe there are some HR or other workers with experience lurking in this sub who might be able to help answer this question.

How much does the ABET accreditation matter? Would it be a dealbreaker?

For more context, I want to apply for NASA after military service. I‘ll have 15 years of job performance with flying experience. My undergrad is Aeronautics from ERAU, which the AST guide specifically states doesn’t count. I‘m currently pursuing a graduate in Systems Engineering from ERAU which lacks the ABET accreditation, so I’m considering switching to JHU since it’s accredited.

The limiting factor is JHU is considerable more expensive for the same degree title with an ABET accreditation. So realistically would it matter if I received my grad degree from ERAU with significant job experience? or would I absolutely must have the ABET accreditation? Thank you for reading and look forward to your responses.
