Anyone wanting to add information, pls feel free to post it or PM me. As usual, you will remain anonymous.

It seems some early stagers have had weight loss too, so if so, don't fill out the survey but pm me or post it on the thread!

Thanks

Bruce,

You make a good point, and I will ask others who were not stage IV to post if they had lost weight. I know that Okideb, who was stage I says she also had unexplained weight loss prior to her surgery--she had a long wait between discovery of the lesion and her surgery and I was thinking maybe she lost weight from stress--but if others are having weight loss too, it is something to look into.

Thanks again.

My wife had very little weight loss prior to DX. She quickly lost ~ 30 pounds AFTER DX ( ~ 137 to ~ 108 ) and she has regained 10 to 12 pounds in the last couple of months. She has been receiving chemo ( Gemzar / carbo ) since late June.
