I gained 10 lbs from the first treatments which also threw me into menpause. After the treatments were over, I came out of menopause and lost most of the weight. The next time I was put back on chemo I gained it back and I never came back out of menopause. So I figure some of the weight is from that, since it is all around my middle. I was not over wieght when I started and my doctors say I look better with the weight. Bull! I know a lot of it is my faught. I used to go to the gym twice a week and walk twice a week. I tried to keep it up but after being put on different chemo's over and over. I just didn't feel I could do it anymore, so I have lost all my muscle I used to have. I am still trying to walk, but between age and chemo it's really hard to keep up. Patty H
