Yeah... you know, I thought about that myself some weeks ago. but the doctors were not overly worried when I went into the hospital for the lung surgery last month.

And I have been back to my oncologist and the surgeon, of course, very often this past month... and they seem to think I can put the weight on myself.

My body scares me, but the professionals seem to be OK with it... my weight and the way I look. I look to be nothing but skin and bones... but!?!?!

So yeah.. I still considering the stomach pump idea if I don't put some weight ON or at least stop dropping weight.

Thank you for your kind reply. I appreciate hearing from you.
