Hi Guys
I just got back from the apt with chemo doctor and he told me that PET scan came back clean and he doesnt see any tumors or cancer anymore from he sees only thing he can see is scar issue which I told him I was warned about it from people from this great support message board. Doctor said that he wasn't really happy with my weight but I looked up the weight I post to be in for healthy weight was from 121 to 158 for 5'7 height which I am at 147 now. So I have to come back 6 weeks to get my weight checked and to see if I need get a feeding tube put in or not.

I just wanted to say thanks for everybody support on this message board.

    about how far I am out with treatments
    I am about 7 to 8 weeks post and the doctor never told me what weight I should be at. So I looked it up and I should be at 121-158 for 5'7/5'8 male.

    We all celebrate in your good news. Mark was told he would never again have trouble maintaining his ideal weight. My rule is I cannot be bigger than he is. We both have to do our part.
    Celebrate your good news with something that tastes good!!! Congrats!!

    Excellent News !!
    Great to hear this Tim. Made my day.

    Your weight will come back to a comfortable level but may take several months. Once you are feeling OK, you can do light exercise and build up from there. Best to gain weight the healthy way. Eat right, avoid the rubbish (Processed, fried,sugar ...and for me all meats and dairy) and you will get back in good shape. You can usually be fine at the top end of your BMI.

    Well done. Stay healthy.
