Absolutely normal.
Daughter was on steroids for a week after each two weekly chemo session for Hodgkins. she ate like there was no tomorrow!!!! she was concernd cos she was putting on weight but was told thats what we want!! chemo works best if your weight is good cos its ratio is geared to the weight.

She got through it and then has jioned W Watchers and lost the excess and then some!.Looks more her old self now

Check the leaflet that came with them, but as others said, I think increased appetite and weightgain are.

I recently started some pills that caused ravishing all-consuming hunger as a side affect even when I'd just finished a meal, the only thing to do is try and ignore it, or ration what's eaten because it's not 'normal' hunger.
