The problem of weight gain (and difficulty) losing is one of the things that women talk about a lot regarding cancer meds. Still, many cancer wellness programs allow free participation for exercise classes, gym membership, etc. for a limited amount of time- during treatment and for awhile after treatment. It would be great if more cancer wellness programs treated the issues of nutrition and exercise as something that were long term issues. This is not to say that many hospitals do not have "indefinite" programs of sorts. But it seems that "complimentary" exercise programs are one of the first to be cut off. I just wish that more hospitals recognized the need for lifetime changes and made it as easy as possible to help former patients who might help longer.
