First of all, I can relate to what "stay-at-home-mom' is saying. Most of my weight went around my middle as well. I too am doing really well emotionally and am interested in some intimacy with my husband, but he is turned off by the fat around my middle. I'm not horribly obese, mind you, I'm 5'4" and 135 lbs, but I've always been slim and now I'm . . . not.

You have a really good attitude, Tony. So sorry to hear that you and your wife have had such major stress with the cancer and all. Best of luck to you as you sort out your meds.
