I know that steriods cause weight gain as well as some chemotherapies and I am also aware as most people tell me that weight gain is the least of my worries, but I have gained 25 lbs. since I started chemo and Herceptin on June 15th of this year. Has anyone else gained that much weight and how do you deal with it. I feel hungry all of the time and I feel like a stuffed turkey. Again, I know that this is somewhat of a vain question, but I know gaining a bunch of weight can't be good for my health. Anyone else battling this problem?
