Hi Joy
I had put on 2 kg the day after treatment (all that water!). Then it and some more fell off over the next few days so by day 5, I was 2 kg less than before chemo, but that has now stabilised. For the last few days I have been only 1 kg lighter that at the start. Like you I have been eating a very healthy diet - fruit, veg and protein. I think I lost weight because I was eating quite small portions and wasn't eating many carbs, so am adding more rice, pasta etc back into my diet. I am still exercising every day.

I know it's hard and I am the same. I want to see people away from home partly due to the messy house, and partly just to give me a change of scenery, but I keep telling myself that I have a pretty good excuse for any failings as a housewife and that my friends care more about me than about my house.
