I am having problems keeping my weight up , I was given some sort of protein drink by the hospital on thursday , I've lost 3kg in the last 3 weeks despite my best efforts . Apart from that I would say I am doing pretty well given the situation I'm in .

Deany had a prescription of cartons of protein drink when she nearly died about 15 years ago.
She couldn't stand the stuff.
By the time she was deemed well enough by the health authority, we had amassed a small pallet of unopened cartons of NHS supplied protein.

Are steroids part of your treatment plan? If so, you'll be wanting to lose some weight before you get to that part haha. My friend's 7 year old looked skinny and pale right before starting steroids then had the appetite of a lion and ballooned in size :D

I do agree with the others though, right now you're looking very healthy !!!

This is good to read.

More importantly, how are you getting on with the teas? Have you tried any yet?

I've tried about 5 of them so far , I'll be honest they are not really my erm " cup of tea" , I'm not drinking much tea at present as the meds have altered my tastes and I'm drinking lots of water and milk

Great to hear things are going well with the treatment. Your strength and resilience are quite something.

BTW, the skin head suits you.

I think I'm doing well , I have a scan scheduled to check the progress of the treatment / cancer . If things are as expected/hoped then I have another 2 rounds of chemo and then they are going to blast my brain with radiation , so I still have a chance at becoming a super-villain ( has to be a villain with this haircut) and will be recruiting minions at some point in the future .
