We know that women who have had breast cancer AND chemotherapy gain more weight than those who have had surgery +/- radiation but it is not known why at this point. It is theorized that activity decreases more due to increased frequency of appointments plus increased fatigue from treatment but I don't think anyone is fully convinced by this theory. The interesting thing is that we don't see this trend in other diseases managed with chemotherapy.

Tanya,
How about the role of steriods given to breast cancer chemotherapy patients? Are steroids given to patients managed with chemotherapy in other diseases?
Hopeful
