Hi Marni_s,
i finished chemo dec 2015 and have just had surgery (day 2 post op). I am also for radio in feb/march.
from my diagnosis til now i have gained about 5 kg, not a lot perhaps but more than ive ever been. I have also found it hard to shift the weight but i am planning to attend some classes for women post surgery.
also if your on tamoxifen it may prove harder to loose the weight. I havnt started it yet.
maybe look into the 2 and 5 diet. Its five days eating normally and two days of fasting (500 calories) my inlaws do it and they lost weight slowly but it seems to stay off . Their fasting days are mon and thurs ( but work out whats best for you) read up about it , ive never been jnto diets but this seems quite credible and more of a lifestyle thing to implement than a diet to loose weight that will most likely come back.
Hope this helps
