Hey @LMW, I'm a champion weight puter onerer! Didn't need chemo to achieve it either! I have to complete physical training for my work and decided I had better hit the gym to ensure my pec muscle on mastectomy side was going to handle the work training - if I can't pass - no job! AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! So, I hit the gym and started to work out, only problem was my mouth started to work out harder than my body did :s I've managed to put on approx 4 kilos and I don't believe it all relates to new muscle, more like muscle, biscuits, turning post menopausal (I've also lost my waist somewhere trying to find it again). On the good side I did pass my work training so that was all good - now am just targeting diet (without biscuits!!) and exercise. I reckon any weight gain has the potential to make us feel like crap and we don't need that. Don't be hard on yourself as it's so easy to do that regardless of treatments, tablets and our bodies reactions and at least with treatment it is going to give you that time to feel more like you once your treatment is complete. Sending you a big hug. Xx Cath
