Weight gain
Did anyone else put on weight during chemo?

Grrr, don't get me started on that one! It is very common and not much you can do about it. I have not dealt well with this side effect emotionally. I'm better about having one boob. I was 48kg and got up to 62kg... more than 20% gain. They even increased my chemo dose at the end to cover the gain. My oncol also attributes my ongoing joint pain to weight and says I need to loose it to reduce risk of recorrance. Easier said than done now I'm also on Tamoxifen.
