I gained 17 pounds while going through chemo and herceptin. I am happy to report that now that it's all history the weight has come off as well. I have been finished with herceptin for 9 months now and all of the weight is gone. I will admit that I've changed my eating some. Better than before cancer but not perfect yet and I do exercise religiously. Four to six mile powerwalk/jogs 6 - 7 days per week. However, I was doing that long before breast cancer and did manage to walk/powerwalk/jog at least 2 miles per day (most days but not every day) while going through treatment. What I ate though during treatment wasn't always the best, that I admit.

So long story short.........................after I bored you to tears with my story..............................my weight is off............................and I'm darn happy about it.

Hugs to each of you..........
