I gained 13 pounds in 12 weeks while on Adriamycin/Cytoxan. I had my 3rd dose of Taxol/Herceptin yesterday. My weight seems to be holding steady the past 2 weeks. My oncologist offered 4 reasons: less physical activity, steroids, nothing tastes good, friends bring over lasagna and fudge!
Wishing you all the best!
