Kelly,
The weight gain is driving me crazy!!!! I've gained 20lbs through is process. I also watch everything I eat and am starting my workouts again but can't lose a pound.
My onc. says "you know what to do" (as I'm a personal trainer) but the onc. nurses at my facility all tell me it's the treatments, it will change and the weight will come off when you're done.
I just hate it. I have never had a weight problem in my life. It's very depressing not being able to fit into my jeans or my bras. I will be doing my 2nd reconstruction surgery the end of august, as I can't wait anymore for at least one thing to be done with.
As far as the joint pain.....on the bad days Vicodin works wonders!!!
