Weight Loss
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if any of you ladies had the same 'problem' as I am having. Before I start let me tell you I am 5'6 and weigh 88 kilos. I am a pretty standard size 14.I am not tiny, bu...
I lost 6kgs in the first 2 weeks of my chemo and I have just sat on this weight ever since. Now I am on Taxol I fluctuate with the fluid build up and then it subsides. My chemo nurses are not concerned unless there is dramatic (ie 20kg) movement or unless the loss is accompanied by severe diahorrhea or vomiting.
I think the main thing is to eat as healty as you can within what you can tolerate - because we know this varies daily sometimes. You can worry about your weight later.
Be gentle on yourself.
Take care
