janstromberg's Journal, 21 March 2019

back to fatsecret after a long time away...stopped coming when my wife wa diagnosed with Non small cell lung cancer last September...she was getting radiation every day, chemo every week and my weightloss journey suddenly seemed so unimportant... her last PET scan showed cancer free...she is halfway through a new immunotherapy...the radiation really took it's toil she has a lot of scar tissue in her lungs and needs oxygen, but she is getting stronger..she says she knows this cancer journey, like everything else in life is God's way of showing her about life and so she can help others..but we didn't think it would be me...6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with a very aggressive prostate cancer.... my PSA went from 7 to 17 in one year...left side of my prostate shows cancer growth and my pelvic lymph nodes are involved...giving me a Gleason score of 9 (2 to 10 scale) I have has my first hormone blocking shot, getting gold pellets implanted in my prostate next week for radiation..and need to try and get healthier..so back to weigh ins and having somewhere to be accountable...seems to be the only way I can maintain weight loss...and having someplace to put what's in my head down

Please ask your doctor for a nutritional consultation. At the point you are currently at, your nutritional state is CRUCUAL. That includes making available to your body the nutritional value all food group brings to the table. Just make sure you let them know about your Keto Diet and if you are knowledgeable and following it as it was meant to be or if you are winging it and just doing it as you see some others doing it. I could make a big difference. Wishing you the very best.

This IS a reliable support community. I found that any suggestions or encouragement I needed someone ALWAYS responded. I was given space in my "silent" times without judgement or criticism when coming back. Using the nutrient section to plan out my meals and see if I'm meeting requirements is me "caretaking" myself now. May God (the source of our wisdom and strength) bless you and yours.

Brook— not everyone learns “beautiful lessons” from tragedy.

My prayers are with you and your wife. My family has also lived through cancer(s), and it will humble anyone and bring them to their knees. But, I have witnessed some miracles also. I pray for miracles for you.
