may I be Frank ?

54.50kg

I am now 54.50kg down from 67.00.
8 stone 5 to you and me.

I'm currently the same weight as I was when I was 16.

So I'm not skinny yet but it certainly feels like it when I can feel my hip bones in the bath.

Funny how the things you though would matter don't matter any more, like the fact I don't have any eye lashes.

Who cares? Give me a burger.

(they let me out today but I will be in hospital being re-fed like David Blaine for a few days.)

Xmas day was great. Family all around.
Cool presents.

I didn't eat a thing because I was so excited about coming out of hospital I pigged myself on crisps and sweets. Then went out with the family on christmas eve and ate loads of italian food.

Xmas day I puke loads of green stuff ewww.

Didn't stop me having a good time though.

Better than the Atkins diet, 12lbs in a week.

Before

After

I've been pretty quiet cos now I feel all well which is a welcome relief.
Anyway noone seems to like the medical stories too much, perhaps it's too gory I don't know.
I just feel people should know what it is like rather than imagining. I thought if other people with cancer read the blog it might help them too.

the incredible shrinking woman

It's amazing how little you can survive on food wise.
For one week I ate:

Half a bowl of porridge A poached egg 3 quarters of a tuna sandwich 4 tinned peach slices 2 bowls of rice crispies 1 scoop of mashed potato and a couple of forkfulls of chicken Bowl of pasta 2 potatos Vegetable chinese noodle soup

Plus 8 vitamin drinks and 8-9 litres of water

Not all of this I kept down.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you are lying down for most of the duration but it can be done. I felt like David Blaine being kept alive on the drip.

posh fish and chips

You can tell when an area has stopped being up and coming and has made it.

Went for posh fish and chips at the Sea Cow in East Dulwich, London with my sister-in-law last night.
It had long benches, tiled floor and relaxed trendy staff. You pay 9 quid for fish and chips eating in and 2 quid for mushy peas! Still you have the choice of tilapia, monk fish, cromer crab on top of your normal battered haddock. The trendies of East Dulwich were lovin' it.

Not sure where this fits in to the organo-healthy-vegan-eating-program for sicklies but it tasted real good.
