Yesterday I saw my oncology surgeon. While I was undergoing testing to have a gastric bypass they found a cancerous tumor in my stomach. Because of this I had to have a gastric sleeve. I got some bad news yesterday at my doctors office. They said the cancer is high risk for return and I will need Chemo.

Here's the part that bothers me.

Hubby took me out after to eat.

I had Soup and a Smal scoop of egg salad

Then ordered cake I was so upset I ordered cake and ate it. Not the whole thing at once but throughout the day I picked at it. Then I did not have my Protein shake for dinner because I had had the cake.

I need some encouragement please. I am three weeks postop. I think I am down about 25 pounds.

You should not feel any guilt. Now is the time to eat for your health through the chemo. Talk to ur nut or ask ur oncologist for a referral to a oncology NUT. ur first concern is beating the cancer. Prayers to you

Sending thoughts and prayers and virtual hugs your way. I wish only the best results from your treatment and am praying for you, your family, and your healthcare team.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

As a 10 year cancer survivor, let me just say that thankfully a cancer diagnosis is no longer an automatic death sentence. Often it is treatable even if the treatments often suck. You get a complete pass for eating cake in this instance. Get your treatments and kick cancer's butt!

Thank you Blerdgirl

Whose thinking about cake? My prayers to you as you fight through these two journeys. All will be well, we are just starting to learn new relationship with food so we are all bound to make mistakes. Just focus on getting well. Big hugs your way.
