Losing Belly Fat
Everyone's body is different. I gained a lot of weight during treatment, especially in the belly. My last Herceptin was in November 2006. My diet hasn't changed any. In fact, I have an appointment with the nutritionist at the cancer center to help me learn to eat better. But I am losing belly fat without trying. I can actually pull in my stomach now. There probably is no proof on this, but I think some of us gain weight around the middle with Herceptin or maybe retain water with the treatment. So take heart. When I looked at my body profile sideways in the mirror during treatment, my stomach bulged big time. I looked at myself yesterday and I could actually pull in my gut. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it happened to me.
