Celebration (Birthday): Made it to 34 on 12 May 2012. Was 32 at time of staging in Nov 2012 and not given much hope that I would make it this far. Most recent CT was 6 Apr 2012 - clean. I started TPN in the fall of 2011 during intensive chemo, then stopped in Dec 2011 (1.5 mos after ending treatment). My weight went steadily down from Dec 2011 to Apr 2012 due to (1) not eating enough, (2) trying to overcome an Oxycodone addiction which made me nervous about eating large amounts w/o the med, not to mention the effects this kind of dependency can have on weight and bowel function in general. Have renewed my effort to eat and gain weight and gained 2 lbs between 23 Apr 2012 and 14 May (current BMI 17.8).
