I've also gained weight but not sure how much yet. I've never owned a scale and will not weigh again until I get my last herceptin on the 24th of this month. When I was on the tykerb/herceptin trial I lost weight. During chemo I pretty much maintained my weight. However, once chemo was over and while on radiation is when I noticed my weight going back up.

The other odd thing I've noticed is how much I crave sweets. I've never in my whole life leaned toward sweets, not the carbs/chips, etc where a different story. So, not only did I go through all the treatment, I also went into chemopause and it seems like every time I turn around I crave something sweet!!!

I've had several surgeries in my life, including one that confined me to a wheelchair for 3 months and always I've lost weight.

As someone who struggled with being too heavy during their teenage years and as a young adult, I find this very frustrating. I kept thinking when I get back to my normal activity it will get better.....sigh.

The sweet cravings seem to be getting somewhat better but I can definitely tell the weight is creeping upward.

On a positive note, my hair is growing back pretty fast Maybe it's the sweet stuff I've been eating-lol.
