weight gain
Hi Sheila,
I'm sorry to hear about the nose bleeds,hopefully you will get a rest from them now. I have finished my Taxol /Herceptin combo 5 weeks ago. Now only big H and a new A.I., Aramosin. I put on a couple of kilos from mid March to early July and I haven't even begun to look like shifting them. Normally I swim and lose kilos doing that, but stopped with the chemo. Now we have a couple of very virulent strains of flu circulating this winter and I am not ready to go back to swimming because of this. I was secretly hoping that the next combo, Tykerb/Xeloda might shift it, but no, not according to Chris! Anyhow, there is more of me to love I suppose.
Take Care
Roz
