Losing weight.
A little background of my weight. In my 20's I was 58 to 59kg which upon looking a past photos taken of me was a bit on the thin side so obviously that's not a good base weight.

Hi Brenda, was very interested in your post. I'm only 5ft tall and started treatment at 63kilos. During chemo 6 months in total, I now weigh 57 kilos. I think I lost most of it when I had a bout of shingles. I have gone down two sizes in clothes. The oncologist and the GP seem to think it is muscle loss that I have lost. It particularly it shows in my legs ( I do like the weight I've lost but was or am concerned) We have always eaten healthy but my hubby said I'm not eating as big a meal as I use to. And I have had no alcohol since last November! I used to enjoy a white wine but it now tastes awful.
My GP has just organised a 'care plan' to an exercise physiologist. The idea is to build up the muscle again.
take care, always enjoy your posts.
