I have just had my first FLOT chemo - on Friday - all OK so far. How are you all doing post op?? Be very interested to know how you all are 

Hi Andi1947

Welcome to the club that nobody wants to belong too.

It's a bit of a long read, but if you haven't already - take a gander through this thread as there are a number of us at various stages. Many of us post op, and some like yourself who have just started the journey. 

I'm 15 weeks post op and have just had my final flot cycle.

Personally - I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would. The medical team are fantastic, and they do give all the information that you need both positive and potentially negative effects of the operation to enable an informed decision. 

Things have changed and are changing in terms of what you can and can't eat post op, and how frequently you eat. It's an evolving situation - and where I can now eat practically all the food I used to eat in moderation,  I'm still building up to the 4 pints of beer challenge. 

Cheers
