I must be in the minority as I lost weight on chemo I could ill afford to, then spent eight years taking Arimidex and gained nothing until four years ago when I quit smoking. I should have done it far sooner or course but better late than never, but I can honestly say any of these cancer treatments didn't cause me to gain any weight and it was only since quitting smoking and eating more I've put on and I'm now trying to lose it. I also like a glass of white wine which is full of calories too so that needs to be cut down.

My Onc agreed I should have an ooph and then take Arimidex as although my blood test showed I was post menopausal, he said I could get a period still even two years later. I was glad to do this and had no regrets and arimidex side effects were easily managed too.
