Thanks Dana, Jill and Howie, for the welcome back! I love you guys! :love: Jill, I sure do hope that I share your George's experience with the weight loss post chemo. The thing is, my gain isn't so much water as fat :eek: since my steroid is taken as an anti-emetic (anti-nausea) and just makes all of us on it really want to eat! Ah well, the key is that I'm eating responsibly again, and once my energy returns I'll get back to exercising.

The good news is that since I got back on plan 4 days ago, I've lost 4 pounds!! I'm just beside myself! Ssshhhhh....don't tell my oncologist! :sssh:
