Ah, outpatient. That's awesome. Just being at home helps, I know.

I am laughing at "so tired of ... being so $$%^%&! skinny all of a sudden!" It's a sentence I don't see very often! But I know it's very real to you. My brother was in the hospital with heart issues and they gave him medicines that got sooo much of the weight off him so quickly. He'd always been proud of his body and felt like nothing but a weakling after that. I'm sure the pounds will come back on when you feel like eating more, and when your body's not under such stress as it is right now.

Are you restricted right now as to what you can eat?

Here's one page with food tips for those with cancer and it says calcium is especially important for you. I know that you feel the prostate cancer is gone, and I sure hope so. I'm sending you these pages more in terms of building your strength and immunity back:

This page also deals with lack of appetite and constipation:

And here's one for the kidneys:

And the Southwest Kidney Institute web site looks very good. With 30 physicians, I'm hoping one can get to see you soon.

Glad you're home. Hope this weekend is better than last, by far.
