    Hello, and welcome!

    I'm a cancer survivor, too - different type, though, stage III locally advanced breast cancer.

    If MFP and calorie counting suit you, it can be a great way to manage body weight, IME. (I'm heading into year 8 of maintaining a healthy weight, after just under a year of loss from obese to healthy weight, preceded by about 30 previous years of overweight/obesity . . . and I'm not some kind of special unicorn, pretty sure. ;):D ).

    Cheering for you to succeed!
