As I have said I have been diagnosed with diabetes early this year. I have lossed about 12lb in weight, from not eating sweets cakes and crisps and a major change in my diet, so the doctor is pleased.
Saying that the cancer team are a bit concerned, but I have assured them it's intended weight loss but looked at with pity, as if I don't no what I'm on about. xx

You are right tvman.
i do eat as much high calorie food as I can and fortisip drinks.
but I do like fruit and veg and have a healthy diet. It’s actually nice not to have to worry about putting on too much weight. I do look thin and have had comments like someone they knew who died of cancer lost a lot of weight.
i can take it though I know I have cancer xxx
