I have put on 2 more pounds!!! That is 6 since I started the chemo. I did some reading tonight about weight gain during chemo. I am going to talk to my oncologist on Tuesday about a strategy to slow down the gain.
I read:
It’s not uncommon for women going through chemotherapy to begin gaining weight.

If you ask most people what their mental image is of a person who is dealing with cancer, they’d likely describe someone who is thin and gaunt. The reality is that a woman may actually start looking a bit cherub-like between th
e steroids, the hair loss, and the chemical cocktails she is taking.
