Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
It is not normal at all.
It is common side effect after chemotherapy and radiotherapy especially in end stage cancer in old age patients.
It is due to weakness from
1. Disease itself
2. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
3. Decrease oral Intake.
So better to start nutritional support in the form of protien supplements, multivitamin containing zinc, folic acid and vitamin b 12.
Drink plenty of fluids like fruit juice.
