I have always been thin and had to put on weight before starting treatment. Yet I had a history of high cholesterol despite a previous diet of egg whites, no butter, no red meat, and little cheese. They said don't worry about it--eat what you want, but my cholesterol must be sky high after my high-fat diet. I won't be tested again until June. That will be interesting.
