Re: now they are moving in on how/why of weight gain during chemotherapy 4 breast can
Chemo makes a person so sick and tired, no wonder we gain weight - we're lucky to get up and shower and get dressed forgetabout any kind of serious exercise! Even now, two years after my tx's, my level of exercise intensity has dropped off - but it all started when I hit menopause - the lack of estrogen in my body started the upward weight climb which I was able to keep a little bit in check by increasing my exercise - but now, I feel I need to starve myself and workout like a maniac just to lose two pounds, sigh..........
