Re: Does low BMI INCREASE the risk of Breast Cancer before Menopause?
I was told to not gain weight and that I was "healthy" despite having "unique" side effects from chemo. I had a BMI of 19.26. They defined "healthy" as not having cancer, but I have/had symptoms that I know now that are a result of my overexercising, not eating enough calories, intermittent fasting, drinking way too much water, plus I have a history of disordered eating from way back into childhood that I told my oncologist about. They did not care one bit. I'm so glad I have the internet and have you to connect with.
