in Introduce Yourself
Friend me if you are working on rehab and weight loss from things like the corticosteroids.

We can encourage each other?
  • Mine is a super rare PXA grade 3 tumor, only about 1000 cases in North America
  • About to start one year of chemo
  • just finished 6 weeks of daily radiation
  • Craniotomy in October
  • 4 months high dose Dexamethasone to reduce seizures from swelling had me gain 70 pounds,
  • working to lose it now by counting calories and exercise (walking and strength bands)

    Hello, and welcome!

    I'm not in that case (though I'm a survivor of a very common cancer type, plus the surgery-chemo-radiation for that). I empathize, and admire your determination to fight back.

    Sadly, I'm also kind of sub-par on the MFP friend side of things (more of a Community forum gal, I guess), but I wanted to stop by your thread and say "hi" and "best wishes".

    I'm cheering for you to succeed!
