Thanks Primek... I've never been one to lose this much. I have tried to change my diet to be healthier and I'm aware that it has probably contributed. I don't drink alcohol but I do drink a lot of coke zero. Rarely nauseated and still not sure if my appetite has decreased... I'm eating less because I've cut out most of the snacking I used to do.
I had appointments at the hospital yesterday so I spoke to some of the staff there... The breast care nurses think it's my body resettling after chemo and have asked the Physiotherapist (who is currently seeing me every few days) to keep an eye on me. They think that as long as I don't have other pains then I am probably fine but should speak to the Oncologist if I go past my pre-chemo weight.
The Physiotherapist mentioned that she has had 1 other patient with the same issue who had loads of tests done but didn't find the cause that she knows of. She doesn't know what ended up happening with that patient once the physio stopped.
I'm expecting a call today from somebody in the oncology department to discuss it further. I'm hoping we find the lips that Zoffiel mentioned :smiley:
