Hi Sherry, I agree; the weight gain was worse than going bald. I've put on about 15 lbs with Taxotere + Herceptin and even tho it's been 6 mos that I've been off Taxotere I do think the Herceptin does make it hard to lose the weight. I've tried diuretics which have maybe helped with a pound or two, but it just comes back on after a bit. So, I wonder is this the new me? Do I go out and buy clothes a size or 2 larger? I keep hoping it will shed, but now that I've realized I'm to be on Herceptin for life, I think I just have to get beyond that. I also feel for you, and I'm glad you've had a chance to talk to your family. They need to be told how their actions affect you as they may not realize what they are doing and you need their support. It sounds like you're on the right track now! Good going girl! Janet
