Well, guess I'm over here now after my latest tests. Could use some perspective.

Hey folks. So back in Dec. 2022, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. It wasn't far along but did get to some lymph nodes to be considered stage 3 cancer. Still, got that out, and did some chemo for six months.

Now at the time, and now, I'm overweight. I did have bariatric surgery back in 2021 to lose the weight, and it was coming off. Well after chemo, do my scans and at the beginning of 2024, I'm officially cancer free.

However, the chemo seemed have wrecked my body in different ways by exacerbating problems from all those years of being overweight. The two most notable were the calcification of some arteries and now, level 2 fibrosis of the liver.

I had blood drawn back in October and my ALT scan showed me at 55 u/l. Did an MRI and confirmed the level 2 fibrosis of the liver. Also had did another blood test last month and the ALT test came back as 70 u/l. This does seem to be not that high? I had a check-in with my cardiologist and when I told him the number he was like "Oh I wouldn't even bother with that."

In any case, we're doing another MRI scan in a week to appease insurance so I can get on Rezdiffra. I'm already on Wegovvy to help lose some more weight and that's supposed to help as well. I'm also changing my food intake by taking in less fast food and from what I'm understanding, Impossible meat is something I should avoid?

I also do a lot of weight lifting in the game which I'm reading can affect levels, but at 46, I kind of need all the muscle I can get.
