Tom K Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well, I went in for my first 3 month scans and the doctor tells me NED again. Of course he mentions how unhealthy it is to carry around the extra 30lbs I have put on recently. This is the same guy who suggested I might need a feeding tube 6 months ago. But he is right; it would be awfully silly to beat cancer and then die prematurely from a heart attack. Now where did I put that treadmill??

cindi o'h Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Congrats, Tom! If you took a poll, you would find that most of us who have gone through what we go through and survive it, put the pounds on. And I don't mean just a few either. You are wise to look for the treadmill. Wiser, even, if you get the belt moving. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolhg Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Congratulations Tom, I know what you mean about the weight thing I have about forty extra pounds myself.

Mendy Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 How exciting! Life is good. I am glad to read that so many of you have been able to put the weight back on. I would love to see my husband with a few extra. Good luck getting a good routine down with the treadmill. Mendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloesmom Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Tom, Congratulations on your good reports....those milestones are so important for our emotional well-being. And about that extra 30 pounds, I'm working on it too. What with stress, quitting smoking, surgery, recovery, steriods with chemo, getting older, and on and on and on, how could we not gain some weight? I've lost some and still have about 10 to go, but it's a daily battle. Treadmills help, but portion control is what it's all about with me. I will get this done though, because I also tell myself I didn't survive cancer twice only to let heart disease get me. Good luck with all that and keep those stellar test results coming.

dchurchi Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Way to go Tom. Now if you could find a way to package some of your 30 pounds and send them to Alan that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welthy Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Tom --- hurrah!!!! Good news and thanks for sharing. I always tell Tony that having extra weight will hold him in good stead for whatever is coming next in his treatments. (Unfortunately, I've followed the same track! ) Best to you, Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
