I finished my first round of chemo in November, 2006. In January, I went with my to be son-in-law to pick up my daughter's engagement and wedding ring. I was still packing 30 of the 40 lbs I had gained. The salesperson asked when the wedding date was, when my son-in-law told her February 17th. She look at me and said Oh good, that will give you time to lose some of your weight. I was so hurt and embarrassed, but I took a great deal of pleasure in telling her that my weight gain was due to the steriods I have to take while I am on chemo. She was very embarrassed after that.
