Hi, last week when I saw my oncologist I was holding at 135 lbs. Today I am at 125 lbs. Two years ago I was 299. When I went into surgery Jan. 9, 2006 I was down to 277.5. After one year I weighed 135. My goal was 130. Today I now weigh 125. No one can figure out what is going on for me to keep dropping like I am. I am a shell of my former self. I barely have any excess skin on me. I am thinking that the cancer in the blood and bone marrow is what is eating my excess skin. The last time I weighed 125 lbs, I was pregnant with my second son and he's 281/2 years old. I am not even trying, I am not drinking all the water, I eat what I feel like, high in carbs as it doesn't affect me, and still can't put any weight on. I look almost 15 years older then I actually am. I'm down to wearing small sizes. Even in a coat it has to be a small to fit me. Now it's getting to the point that I am becoming scared. I barely have any skin let a lone meat on my bones. I think the cancer in my bone marrow and blood is spreading, that the Leukemia is advancing, but my Oncologist doesn't seem a bit concerned. That is one Dr. I will be replacing first thing. Finding me a new one, that will do something before I become so thin that I become frail. Those of you who will be at the lunch on Saturday willl be able to see a major difference. I don't look a thing like the picture posted. Off to have a long trip a head of me tomorrow, I just hope that there is no wind like today, had a hard time staying on the road, and even a harder time just trying to walk without getting blown away. Seriously. Love and good night, Kathy
