My worst time was the week after my last Chemo and Rad. I had surgery about 30 days after treatments were complete. Back to maybe 85% 30 days after surgery but was playing golf, working..... Good news is I started to put weight on pretty soon, the bad news is that is was from my sweet tooth coming back before anything else. Before SCC I was not much of a sweets person, I now know it is easy to put on weight when you eat a lot of cake/ice cream, etc. It just takes time.
