tonsils are gone now lol. Update IM HOME YAY
So yeah I am now extremely sore and groggy but have had tonsils removed. I just had my oncologist come up to see how I was feeling and got a major lecture about my weight loss. Before starting chemo I weighed 127kg I am now down to 90kg so have lost 30kg in about 2 months. Or for you guys a little under 90lbs.
I didn't actually realise it has been so much so am now being put on a special diet apparently which should be fun not.
Oh well its time to eat apparently so be back later.

@RTMommy hospital jelly is worse than torture lol and anything cold is agony at the moment but have been having chicken soup which tastes ok. I am trying to stay upbeat about things otherwise I think I would have fallen in a huge heap a while back and I can assure you I've come close.
@Wilsomom thanks.
First, you are nutrient deficient which may cause wasting, weakness, an increase in compromised immune system which can all make you intolerant to your cancer treatment.
Secondly, this lack of nutrition can cause malnourishment, which leads to muscle wasting and fatigue.
This it's where nutrition (eating) comes in, lol. Eating provides the energy (calories) you need to prevent all of the above, plus incorporating protein helps regain strength and muscle repair. Therefore young man, it is very important for you to maintain a healthy diet, especially since you are fighting cancer.
I'm not sure what diet they have you on, but on your worse days try power foods that pack a punch of calories and protein. Very little of these foods go a long way.
Power foods... Cheese, eggs, nuts, peanuts, seeds, avocado, peanut butter (or other butters) and dried fruits.
Ok, I'm rambling now. Keep your head up.
Ooooh, and that picture of you was exactly how I pictured you.
As for that picture I'm nowa lot slimmer and will upload a new picture soon.
It's amazing how much crud collects in our tonsils, you are going to notice such a difference.
Hope you and bubs are back to normal (or what you classify as normal) soon.
I have actually been studying today when I felt up to it lol. Still have about 5000 words to do on a criminology assignment though so guess I should do more later lol.
