In response to Charm and TSA... I have never had an issue at all going thru the airport checkpoints. I carry on cans of formula, syringes, several bottles of different medications, cans of peaches, bottles of water and my feeding bags and pump plus a purse and laptop. I cant raise my arm over my head to put it in the circles. I just tell the TSA people that everything Im carrying is medically necessary and that I have a feeding tube. Once I had a open cup full of sliced peaches and went thru without a problem. Thanks for being nice Charm but my days of being pretty are a long long time ago before I got sick. It took me a while, but Ive adapted to being disfigured and Im ok with it since it means Im still around.



Dan, I really hope you are able to sail right thru all of yoru treatments. Im sure your children's weddings are very very important events for you to attend. It might be the inspiration you need to push yourself to get thru your treatments. Everybody needs something to look forward to in life and this might be what it takes for you. One big advantage you have is that you have found OCF before you have started. You will have our help to guide you thru this. Try your very best to bulk up now. Eat as much as you can and then go back and have seconds No worries about gaining weight.
