Glad to hear it Henda. Take it slow bro what you went thru would do that to any of us. 31 lb weight loss I imagine would be shocking but good for your organs to lighten the load. Stay positive.

Thank you Rob mate I try and tell myself that it to be expected after everything but still find self trying to will the strength to be there before a work set try and convince self can still lift it but body has other ideas haha thank you brother

You don`t sound ungrateful at all.....once my Cancer went into remission I was a grateful son of a bitch, but I still was a bit down and depresed.......one, because I brought it upon myself,and two I just wished that it never happened in the first place, so I kind of can relate to where you`re coming from.

Just keep pushing buddy,and remember a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step......you already took that first step,now keep om trucking.

Jesus Christ bro, that is rough....when it rains it pours.

One thing I can say that sounds stupid but is very true is........... "THIS TOO SHALL PASS".

I`ve been through Hell in my life and used to quit and give up on myself like a kunt.......giving up is not an option these days....remember this also bro, tomorrow could be the greatest day of your life and put you right back on track.

I know it`s a bitch, but try to stay busy, and try to stay positive.

Best of luck bud.....it`ll all work out....it always does, you just have to be patient.

I know get big claims veggies and fruits are bad but vasodilators will help your blood flow as it opens your veins and arteries up and naturally reduces your blood pressure and prevent clots

"The process of vasodilation naturally leads to a drop in blood pressure. This is due to the widening of the blood vessels, which leads to a greater blood flow and therefore less pressure on the walls of the blood vessels."

Beets  number one on their list....that`s why I drink beet juice....not for it`s anabolic properties but for the health benefits it provides and nitric oxide production.

Thanks mate I’ve had a look a lot of those I can tolerate well and will start including some I lost my large intestine to colitis back in 2011 and struggle to digest some types of fruit and veg without discomfort but I can eat a fair few off that list with no issues thanks

Being faced with your own mortality can make you take stoick and re-evalute your life.

Looking back on whats been done can help you come to terms with it and eventually het passed it

Just dont dwell on it because we cant change the past.

Good luck with it all.
We might all be a bunch of fuck ups on here and we have probably all been through similar

thank you mate and your spot on about it making us reevaluate our life, I’d lost all value of life and felt it was just existing and shamefully to admit but would go to bed most nights hoping not to wake up agsin as really struggled to see and point in life without my family especially I was the sole reason it ended but what happened recently made me realise how selfish thst was I still have kids that need me around for a lot longer.

Thank you agsin mate your words of advice all make perfect sense
