  • A very warm welcome to the forum Ruish although I'm sorry to hear you're still losing weight since you finished your treatment 2 months ago.

    If you haven't done so yet, do make sure you discuss this with your medical team or GP as they should be able to refer you to a dietician who will be able to address your concerns and give you advice on how to build your weight back up.

    We also have some tips for putting on weight on our website, but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they they can to help.

    I'm glad other parts of your recovery are going well and hopefully it won't be long until your weight starts to stabilise and catch back up as well.

    Kind regards,
