Re: Jack's Updates
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.Jack wrote: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 .

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.

Re: Jack's Updates
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 
I do agree with the others though, right now you're looking very healthy !!!

Re: Jack's Updates
This is good to read.
More importantly, how are you getting on with the teas? Have you tried any yet?

Re: Jack's Updates
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 milkKwacky wrote:This is good to read.

Re: Jack's Updates
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 .
