I was pretty slender at diagnosis (115) and ate a very lowfat diet. With all of the new study results about eating a lowfat diet, I am frustrated. I don't know how much lower I can go than where I was before. My good friend who was diagnosed within a few days of me is about 5'10" and VERY slim and athletic and she is Her 2+ as well. Go figure-

Love, Kelly
