Hi. Congratulations on finishing AC! I am very overweight. I lost 5 kgs before chemo thanks to stress but also changing my diet to the pre chemo diet for HER2+ patients because I was told I would most likely put on weight during treatment. As predicted I put on 7 kgs during treatment mostly I think from the steroids I was given as I always puff up quite a lot on steroids but also possibly due to the fact that I was thrown into menopause. But then I lost 10 kgs in 6 weeks after getting really ill thanks to inflammation of the oesophogus from radiation and other side effects. Now I have added more exercise and changed my diet again to an anti inflammatory diet because of painful joints since chemo and have lost another 5 kgs. From my heaviest during treatment I am down 12 kgs but from my weight before breast cancer I am only down 10 kgs. So I have been all over the place but hopefully I will lose more if I stick to this diet.
