I am 6 months post radiation and doing great. I even survived the spicy food on our recent trip to Senegal! However, I had my yearly physical on Monday and found out my cholesterol was 273. I am still only 95 pounds and have low blood pressure (I run 4-5 times per week). My diet has been interesting since losing my taste. I have always been a healthy eater, but post radiation have just tried to eat whatever went down well (like ice cream and pudding) to things I can begin to taste (like blue cheese and fresh berries). My doctor plans to recheck it in 3 months since I've never had this before, but I wondered if anyone else has had a sudden spike in cholesterol during their recovery? Thanks!
