Hi Everyone

Just wondering if anyone, With PRD

Are always thinking about food, from first thing in the morning, then until I’ve had my last meal before 6pm

I can’t wait to go to bed and sleep, so I stop thinking about food

I know I can’t eat most things, that’s good for you, but eat reasonably well

Not sure if my body is not satisfied

On Thursday I went to talk a lovely lady at Wessex cancer support centre

I have lost weight over the last year

My thoughts that because, I’m eating little and often

Also it was said to check the Sugar levels for Diabetes

We have a tester at home, I tested myself a few times

It showed I was on boarder line

So I phoned the GP

On that , they had no slots for me

I’ve emailed The Late Affect clinic Nurse

Waiting to hear from her

X Wendy

Hi Blue Hawaii,

Did they check your thyroid levels? I also lost a lot of weight. It turns out I have hypothyroidism. Normally I should gain weight, but after several months of having no appetite and not eating I lost weight. I was unsteady and I was falling. I started eating more protein. I am better now. I live in France where food is supposed to be very good, but they use too much butter, cream and fiber, which gives me diarrhoea. So I cook everything from scratch. I’m going to get an echocardiogram on my neck and blood work to recheck my thyroid. Regarding the PRD, I have an appointment with a proctologist in a couple of days. I will post about the results. Good luck.
