Weight
I have avoided weighing myself for months because I suspected I had put on some weight. Yesterday at the hospital they weighed me which confirmed it.

Hi Kathy
I did say thank you, as that seemed the appropriate response.
When I talking about gaining weight I guess I really mean how flat or otherwise my stomach is. That's one of the reasons I am not checking the scales.
I am a runner so it is important not to put on extra fat as it will slow me down.
I am somewhat worried about my drugs slowing me down. But I want to do everything I can to avoid having cancer again so for the moment at least I just have to put up with that possibiliy.
I was somewhat bemused by the comment last night but it didn't really upset me. I think I am going ok with not obsessing over my weight but it still just an issue to be aware of in the back of my mind.
I am having a lot of trouble getting to sleep lately. After Christmas I went on holiday & stayed in a motel room with my mum. I slept a lot better while we were away as I felt a lot calmer and my head was not so busy. My counsellor suggested writing in a journal before going to bed to help clear out my head. So, I should probably get around to trying that.
Thanks for your kind wishes
