Hi there
i had a mastectomy last October then after radiotherapy went on another AI , Letrazole ( Femara) in January.
I was 78 kilos when I had the surgery and over the months that followed got down to 68 kilos where I have stayed.
I see an exercise physiologist regularly and didn’t see a dietician as I knew what to do - give up cakes, biscuits, chocolates , drastically limit processed foods and alcohol, up the fresh fruit and veggies and fish.
A lot of people find the structure of seeing a dietician helps them.
It is true some ladies complain of weight gain after taking an AI such as Armidex or Letrazole , and it’s also true lots of people have put on weight as a result of Covid.
The other thing about exercise is that some studies have shown it helps prevent recurrence of breast cancer .
Also it has the added bonus of strengthening the bones which is important if you are taking an AI.
