Weight loss

Hello ladies,

Am back after a hiatus...its been crazliy busily what with looking after mom n the house and my job at the same time...but hanging in there...We do what we have to do...

so mom s done with 06 cycles of TCH (seems like yesterday I was asking how to deal with the 1st cycle) and has finished 10 rounds of Herceptin...07 more to go... through her chemos Mom had very bad diarrhea and lost about 08 kilos ( brave lady that she is has never complained ONCE ..EVER !! )

she has started eating normally now and everything but she doesnt seem to be gaining back the weight....Im worried !! is it something to be worried about ??

would really appreciate any feedback...thank you.....
