Hello !
I had hip surgery before they found my c. Put on around 30 lbs, not being able to get around or exercise. Dropped that and 10 more. Doctors aren't concerned yet, more concerned that when not in treatment a person continues to lose. I'm glad you're doing well and back to lifting wts. Regards, Katie

Weight
Going in to my treatments I had extra weight as well...came thru chemo with a decent appetite, lost a few lbs. when rads started I went into it not wanting a PEG , my rad doc said so long as I kept my weight loss between 2-3 lbs per week, they preferred 2 , I would be ok and not need the PEG.While I lost my taste in about week 3 , I continued to eat whether I could tast of not, and added boost/ensure plus whey protein drinks. As my rad doc said said this wasn't the Jenny Craig weight loss center, all in all I lost 35-40 lbs , weight that should have come off any way, today I may have put maybe 5 lbs back on. Congrats on the 12 year mark..that is wonderful.
