@melclarity - it’s all part of the journey isn’t it. I was vegan before chemo but my body started craving meat and soft drink so I’m letting it have what it wants at the moment. I put on 5-6 kgs in the first 3 cycles but thankfully no more in between the 3rd and 4th. I’m hoping some of it is fluid. Once I steer feeling better I’ll get back into my diet but may add fish as my vitamin b had been low and I’m hoping to start yoga again in the next couple of weeks - can’t wait to start running again and normally I’m on my feet all day at work. I have had high blood pressure for a few years, had every test under the sun and my specialist couldn’t figure it out - he said I was “just weird”. Bloody cancer is a clever little thing isn’t it - still manage to produce what it needs. In the end though being alive with a couple of extra pounds is a better alternative for me than being a thin corpse.
