Finished Treatment!!!

At last, the chemo has ended. Actually I ended up finishing a day early because the sickness was getting too much. I'm starting to feel better already. I've lost quite a lots of weight as I have not eaten in the last 3 days. My nutritionalist was not happy with me. Hopefully now the sickness is wearing off I'll start eating more.

I back on steroids to help with the pain and tiredness. They will also increase my appetite so I should start putting the pounds back on. I think the hardest part has to be eating through the treatments,,,I've gone from 11 stone 3 to 9 stone 3 in 5 months. I'm sure some of you are envious of me losing so much, but trust me there are other ways of losing weight than what I've been through.

You're a super-star Jay! You and Shirin have put a brave face on what we all realise has been a really tough time.

It was great seeing you the other weekend, you were on really good form. Maybe next-time we can go out?

As for piling on the pounds, its a terrible chore, but I guess you'll just have to fit in some Mexian food, some ice-cream and chocolate cake, but hey, you've been strong so far, you can handle this. I've been training to motivate you and managed to eat a third of a pack of cashews last night - good for 1000 or so calories. No need to praise me, I'm just doing my bit!

Well done Jay!! Congratulations on completing your treatment, I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been. I have a feeling that the next time I see you you'll go from 9 stone to 15 and pumped up like Schwarzenegger, now that you're on the 'roids!!!

but seriously, get well soon mate, and look forward to seeing you.Kyne

Brilliant news Jay - well done you've been a real trooper throughout the treatment. Hope to see you up in town for long lunches soon - need to pile on those pounds.
