Hi!

5 months ago I finished treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. During treatment for cancer, I lost a lot of muscle, strength and stamina and gained neuropathy. I was on Prednisone during chemo to prevent me from losing too much weight. Now none of my clothes fit!

I've been putting off getting the weight off and getting in shape long enough, so I finally decided to give myfitnesspal a try. I should have waited until after the pan of brownies was finished, but hey! I'm keeping it real by posting my brownie and milk breakfast. It's eye opening!

My God has been faithful to carry me through cancer, and now I'm praying that He'll lead me through weight loss and into healthier living.

Grace and Peace,
Angel

    Welcome! I'm a cancer survivor as well. It was Uterine cancer, so nothing as difficult as what you've been through, but scary anyway. Best of luck to you!! :smile:

    Congrats to you as well... I worked for a GYNONC for a few years and female reproductive organ cancer is no joke! Congrats!!!

    I have been on Prednizone for two years now (just got off it and am on Remicade now) and I can sympathize with your weight gain. I have never had cancer but I know that if you had the strength to get through that you will take the weight off too.

    Make it a great day!
