While doing A/C I didn't gain weight either and didn't really notice bloating too badly. However, while on taxol and herceptin I gained weight (probably partially due to no more nausious feeling and able to eat again) but I also noticed more of a "bloating" to my body. Face, hands (rings didn't fit). I exercised and really, really tried to watch what I ate but to no avail. I'd drop 2 pounds and gain 3. It went on like this till herceptin was finished. I finished herceptin on Oct. 11, 2006 and weighed 170 pounds. Now, 6 months later, the rings fit great, the old jeans are back out and the "new" jeans are packed away and the scale reads a much healthier and better feeling 152.
Hugs from Wisconsin,
