A little off topic, but had to comment to Erin's post on the 15th about "You used to be so thin"?

I too have had my battles with prednisone and weight. 5'2".....well over 200 pounds. Couldn't buy reams of materials big enough to cover my fatness........enough said.

So when I got soooo sick and went through Chemo again and then subsequently a year later I couldn't swallow and I lost a bunch of weight, and all my muscle mass (couldn't even hold a full cup).

Anyway, somebody who knew me when I was larger made a comment to me. "Oh, look at how much weight you lost. I wish I could lose weight like that - how did you do it?"

"I have cancer, got sick and couldn't swallow anything without it coming out my nose."

That pretty well ended that conversation.
