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 was lucky, I lost weight on chemo without any nausea. But then I started putting it back on when I finished treatment. So I have had to modify my diet (no snacks, very limited alcohol, small or no lunch, don't skip breakfast!) and get to the gym. Holidays were great, walking a lot every day and I lost 3 kilos! But 3 weeks back and the creep is back too. Like Melinda says it's a slow process but very satisfying when you see results.
