Weight gain and cancer treatment

A lot of people think cancer/cancer treatment makes you lose weight!  Well I learned the hard way that wasn't the case.  Many women who do breast cancer treatment gain - the chemo puts you into (usually temporary) menopause, and the steroids give you an insatiable hunger and bloating.  You are either nauseous or hungry and for me I craved not so healthy foods.  Add extreme fatigue and with me a picc line - I was WAY less active during chemo as well.  It is so frustrating!  The good thing is you lose a lot of the bloat after chemo ends, and if you eat right and exercise you can get your body back after treatment ends.

One more gift from cancer!!
