Obese but with pretty normal legs / arms etc but very fat, enormous belly ***Ovarian cancer diagnosis - title edited by MNHQ at OP's request***

Hi
I'd be glad of any advice or personal experiences here. I am around 4 stone overweight, so definitely obese. Most of it is on my stomach though, which now looks like I'm 11 months pregnant with triplets. I'm in my 50s so this is not a possibility. It's very painful and I am short of breath when I walk etc.

I've put on a lot of weight in a short period - 10lbs in 2 months.

Six months ago I was bodyboarding in the sea, walking every day and doing an exercise class every week. Now it's a struggle to do anything.

I'm having bloods done on Friday but any ideas / comments? Am I just unlucky to pile it all on in one place?

I hope some of your family and friends live close enough to visit and grant your food wishes Twitter .

YAY! Ward rounds done and I'm going home!

Just read the whole thread, will be thinking of you. Can you go home and eat those cashews now?

Fab news Twitter, enjoy 😊. Keep us posted.

Tx folks.have given shopping list to eldest!

Will keep posting but may not be for a day or two.

Thanks for all kind words and wishes - it really does make a huge difference when you're alone, frightened and petrified about what is to come.

I'm going to need a lot more of them..

Twitter So glad your going home....Now feet up madam!! with cheese and bread

Just read the thread. Really sorry for the grim news OP and hope you'll be able to rest and eat what you want when you get home. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you

Great news that you are getting home and having a better nights sleep is bound to help.

Hopefully come Monday you will have a clearer treatment plan and be able to get started on your recovery .

Sorry for the grim news Op. Make sure you get plenty of good nutritious food and rest to prepare for your treatments

Sending you love and well wishes.

Glad you're going home, we'll also be here as long as you need us

Lovely that you get to go home, TQ. Take it one step at a time.

Glad you get to go home, and glad they moved you when ndn got too much!!
Post as little or as often as you like, don't feel any pressure too but we are here for hand holding (and the defence of the misuse of the apostrophe of difficult circumstances )

Great that you get to go home. Online shop?

Or amazon now! They can deliver very quickly.

So glad you are going home.
Your DD's will be pleased to have you back
Thinking of you.

Sorry the news wasn't good - That must be really difficult -you have loads to think about. You must be knackered!

I hope that you are now home and cramming in the cheese and bread xx

@TwitterQueen1. Hope being at home is going well. Here are some more apostrophes, use them freely.

So sorry to hear your diagnosis, TwitterQueen. Hope you get your Rochefort and cashews and white bread today!

Loving all the apostrophes!😀 cannot stop eating cashews!

Feel so much better after a good night's sleep. I lasted til 8.30pm. I have stopped family from afar visiting. I don't want them all sitting round dissecting my symptoms, especially when I still feel normal. The incessant questions are becoming tiresome.

We have to say goodbye to new 12 week puppy tomorrow. I am taking her to my DsiS. I cannot cope with her, which is v sad but necessary.

wish there was a heart emoji

Aw, TQ. It is sad that the puppy needs to go to your sisters but it is the best decision. Well done on you for taking that hard step. And you know that the pup will be well looked after there.

If you get a proper treatment plan on Monday then you might feel a bit more in control of things. Do you think it would be helpful for someone to accompany you on Monday? It can be hard to take in medical information at times like these and a supportive friend can be invaluable.

In the meantime, crack on with the cashews.

I think cashews look like apostrophes, TQ . They're obviously the ideal diet for you.
I'm so sorry to hear your diagnosis, and that your puppy needs to be rehomed - I hope only temporarily. for you and the family as you come to terms with everything.

Just read the thread and am so sorry for your diagnosis but am in awe at your stoicism.

Keeping everything possible crossed that your treatment is successful and and the bastard bloody 'C' is beaten to buggery.

Sorry about the puppy, hopefully your sister is fairly nearby so you can be reunited for cuddles!
Cashews are delicious, you're making me want them too now!

Well don't for being clear on what you can cope with right now, you need to put yourself first now and only answer questions if you want to
