Hi Pennybryn, and welcome.
I also was diagnosed with invasive ductal and had a Lumpectomy in August and radiation commenced this week. Mine is also hormone receptive but i have been taking tomoxifen tablets (5 Years) and zoladex injections(3 years). On the Internet there is loads of wrong advise and information so maybe it was one of those sites that you read regarding weight gain.
Maybe ask your Doctor or breast clinic if they can refer you to a dietitian at the hospital, as they may be able to help you if you do start to gain weight. Maybe i might do the same as i have found my medication makes me so lethargic i just eat and sleep and are gaining weight . I think because i'm awake all night with horrible hot flushes and joint pain this is taking all my energy . .
Good luck with everything and let us know how you get on.
Cheers Joxx
