Hormone Blockers Weight gain & GLP-1s

Hi Everyone,

I am 53 yeards old and 3 years into hormone blockers and am managing (barely) all the side-effects except for one. Weight gain. I have always been fit and active and I am working out more than ever and eating incredibly healthy and nothing seems to make a difference. I have slowly increased from a size 10 to almost a 14 since commencing hormone blockers.

I have seen some medical evidence that GLP-1's at a low dose have been helpful for not just weight loss but also a reduction in other side effects as well.  Has anyone else had a conversation with their oncologist regarding using GLP-1's and potential benefits? 

I don't like the thought of taking yet another drug but I am getting to the point of worrying about everything I eat and also cannot afford to keep buying another size up!

If anyone has any info on this topic or knows of any specialists in this space I would appreciate it very much,

Thanks!!
