I was wondering that as well! At least we know we have two people

Hi Kathy! I would love a buddy to help me regain a healthy relationship to food and lose some weight post treatment. I finished all of my treatments (chemo, radiation, surgery) about a year ago and I have put on about 25 pounds. I also developed lymphedema in my arm so I really want to figure out how food impacts the fluid in my arm.

How are you doing so far? What has been working and what hasn’t? How are you finding life post cancer?

I have been using MyFitnessPal on and off since May. In the middle of September I started to focus on tracking everything that I eat but not really worrying about tracking everything exactly. This has helped me get in the habit of tracking without the stress of having to measure everything.

Along with food tracking I have also been going to two exercise classes per week. This is something I used to do with my friends before I was diagnosed so I am really happy to be back! I have also been riding my bike to work since May. I am hoping to ride until the end of October if the weather cooperates

Hi, just joined this group. I am in the middle of my treatment for colorectal cancer. I just finished 8 rounds of chemo. I am getting ready to begin radiation/oral chemo for 6 weeks. Then I will have 2 surgeries starting in October. I have lost my sense of taste. I really only taste salty, sweet and sour. I have gain10-15 lbs. since this all started. I have lost muscle. So I am looking for friends that will support me as I continue this journey to wellness again. I will be there to support you. My goal is to move back to a healthier diet with a focus on getting enough protein and lots of fruit and veggies. I have a break before radiation starts, so I will be going to the gym to begin regaining the muscle I have lost.
