Know the feeling! I'm not so far advanced with my bc as you as I have my 4th round of chemo this afternoon, but have slowly gained weight since it all began. To start with, it was probably comfort food to help me deal with the emotional side of it all, but I've been eating healthier food for the last month & walking more, but the weight just stays put. I've been to a nutrionist & she has me on a plan where I eat carbs with every meal to slow down the sugars through my system, a bit like a Diabetics eating plan. Only started last Friday, so it's early days. Will let you know if it helps as she told me I should lose 10 kilos to be in my healthy range. And I thought one of the bonuses of chemo was that you lost weight! There goes that theory. Best of luck & when you find the secret formula don't forget to share. Wendy
