hey guys! I am currently in the thick of chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma. while losing weight shouldn't exactly be a priority at this time of my life, eating healthy and trying to stay as active as possible is. However, in the queasy aftermath of chemo, only certain food items sound appealing - especially bread. mass amounts of bread. and being active is very difficult for me due to the fatigue, and walking around the block bores me. but being active and healthy puts me in a much better mood than the alternative and I have to find a way!
Additionally, particularly with the type of chemo I'm on, people tend to gain a lot of weight because havoc is wreaked on the metabolism... but I don't want to fall victim!
I was wondering if anyone else is/has been in this situation or a similar one, and if there are any tips or words of wisdom that could be imparted on to me! and please add me if you're going through a similar struggle!
