Tamoxifen kilos

I put on weight with Tamoxifen - steady weight gain though.  I had no trouble with this drug at all. (Was on it for 4 years) The only thing it did give me some "break through bleeding" which had to be investigated each time.  There is a risk of getting uterine cancer whilst you are on this drug (sorry to be the deliverer of bad news) but if you have a good gyne to keep an eye on you it is okay.  I am now on Arimidex - boy is that a different story.  I am cooking from the inside out and feel like I have creepy crawlies in my hair.   I have also put on weight - much more quickly since starting on 20-12-10.  It is a real nuisance - makes us work harder to keep it off.  It is not good to put on weight when you have bc but unfortunately it is one of the risks with some of the treatment.  So many ladies that I know have put on heaps.  My friend who is doing it tough with her diagnosis (secondary bc in the heart) keeps telling me not to lose weight as chemo makes you lose heaps.  So it is interesting what you say Chrissy.  I try and watch my food intake but sometimes I "reward" myself cause I have bc and think why bl......y not.  Seriously though I do try hard to maintain my weight, fitness etc.  It has been proven that exercise does help with bc.  I know sometimes it is hard to be motivated when you feel crook.  Take care girls XLeonie
