I think we could all contribute to the "Get Cancer - Lose Weight" diet guide... it could be bigger than Atkins! I've dropped about 40 pounds since my original surgery in October. Folks are calling me skinny, something I haven't heard since high school. I don't mind actually, though I wish I wouldn't have lost muscle-tone as well...

I'm a lot like MIchelle. My desire to eat and my energy level in general goes up and down... I'm back at work and feeling great some days. Other days, I come home after a half-day and take three-to-four hour naps... Some days I can deal with real food OK. Others, I prefer Gatorade and applesauce...

But things are getting better week by week, and I thank God for that... Prayers to you Helen as you undergo more surgeries and biopsies in the weeks ahead...
