Until I read the comments, I thought you were just randomly losing weight. I was all, "see a dr, NAO NAO NAO" -- But that's just life with a cancer patient.
My journal is unwritten in, but I am still actively reading. :) Feel free to comment any time.
Thirty nine! Happy birthday! I vaguely remember 39. I started writing then. That was a good thing. 30 was fine, 35 was tough (dunno why), 40 was fine, 45 was OMG SO CLOSE TO 50.
But yeah. We are not really in our parents' 30s, 40s and 50s. I know everybody my age thinks s/he is much younger than s/he is, but a generation or two ago I think things really were different. My mom and dad started out their lives circa 1930 with next to no medical care and my dad, especially, with poor nutrition. That makes a difference right there.
My dad, a chronic alcoholic and dead at 58, was considerably older than his natural age anyhow, so maybe I have a skewed view.
