Are you worried about weight gain during chemotherapy? (VIC based trial)
Weight gain is common in women undergoing
chemotherapy for breast cancer and can lead to:
-
a decrease in quality of life and self esteem
-
the development of other conditions...
I wasn't worried about weight gain during chemo treatment as I would lose a few kilos due to nausea but when I started feeling better I was worried then as the weight would come straight back on because I was eating again. Now it's 8 months post chemo and I'm putting on more weight. I already was overweight before chemo due to being hypothyroid and having hashimoto's. Now I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I really need an exercise and diet plan but can't really afford to pay a professional for help. Weight! It's a difficult thing to shift. Yes I love Kmart too! @melclarity :D
