Day 49 Clinic Report

Lean and Mean on January 12, 2011
There are no startling improvements or big set backs this week.  Roger lost another pound or so (damn!) but otherwise, he's doing quite well.  His blood counts remain strong.  There is no sign of graft versus host disease. His vision seems to be improving a little and when it seems like it has improved as much as it's going to, he'll get new glasses.

His appetite has been better this past week.  I was betting he hadn't lost any more weight, so I was surprised at that news.  I just don't understand how anybody that eats like that could lose weight!  This diet wouldn't work for the average person trying to lose weight, that's for sure.  Perhaps his metabolism is nutty as his body tries to re-establish a "normal" way of operating.

I would like to know more about the role of nutrition in fighting cancer.  I'm so surprised that they seem to know so very little about it at the Bone Marrow Transplant clinic.  Everyone just shakes their head, as mystified as we are.
 
 All in all, a good clinic report.  We can't complain.

    Dear Roger and Candi:

    OK, try this for a positive. Once Roger is back to 100%, with that lightning fast metabolism he will be able to eat anything...... and the really good stuff twice.....Keep up the fight.

    Positive thoughts,
    Mike & Lisa

    Lookin good, Roger! The progress report is appreciated and I am inspired to stay focused on the positive things going on my my life right now.

    On related note...I have been working on some training materials for first line supervisory series and found this video. Check it out.

    Roger, I think your body is using those extra calories to heal in hidden ways. I predict Candi will have you on Weight-watchers this time next year.
