I am sorry to hear about your illness...I will pray that all goes well...
I broke my jaw a while back and had my jaws wired shut for 6 weeks...and then still couldn't eat "hard" food for a month..
I lost quite a bit of weight, but since I am a woman, I didn't mind at all...LOL
Thanks, Tex, but don't worry, I've got CLL, which, if you've got to have Leukemia, is the best one to have. Kills you real slow; I might last 20 years, with luck.
Oh, and I wasn't complaining about the loss of weight; I was at 245 lbs back in 2003. I was mostly complaining about the cost of buying new clothes! <G!>
