Re: The prognostic and predictive impact of BMI on clinical outcome of HER2-positive
Well, I guess this is why my Oncologist told me to exercise at least 5 times per week until I have been "panting for at least half an hour."!!! Needless to say, it's not a thought I relish, but, I will do as he says if it will keep this scourge at bay.

Re: The prognostic and predictive impact of BMI on clinical outcome of HER2-positive
So when will they do something about the weight gain side effects of the AIs for those of us who are estrogen + as well as Her2+ - I packed on a good 20 lbs. since starting Femara... no change in diet or exercise since diagnosis.
It's true, Laurel, the good news never ends 
all the best

Re: The prognostic and predictive impact of BMI on clinical outcome of HER2-positive
Until each of us is seen by an endocrinologist at the time our treatment plan is set up in the same way that we see a surgeon or an oncologist or a radiologist, there is no recognition or acknowledgement being made that our individual metabolic management is part of the solution and our metabolic situation should be calculated as part of our risk and part of our treatment plan.
Permanent changes in metabolism and weight are less likely among the younger population because they are less likely to become fully postmenopausal with treatment, although most breast cancer patients do gain some weight with treatment.
However, the vast majority of breast cancer patients (including the vast majority of early stage breast cancer patients) are age 50 or older.
