Paul, A big congrats. I know what you're going through. I'm fighting the battle right now. With all the medications (steroids) Chemo, etc, it has been a problem. (34 pounds since 9/6/06. It does not take long when you are limited to how much you can do. I'm not able to get by on just salads, I have to get a bunch of protein. but a salad and a can of chicken noodle soup is lunch. Again a big congrats. Quiting smoking was the hardest thing for me. 4 years 3 months 17 days and counting.
