Yes, thank G-d for this forum. My heart goes out to you Sherry. None of this is easy and we will all have our good days and bad...our ups and downs. You need to know and believe you are not alone and we all understand. Just reach out and vent whenever you need to because although I am new here, I found out fairly quickly that everyone here cares and wants to help everyone else out.
I never realized that chemo causes weight gain. I always thought people lost weight on chemo due to being sick from it and from either decrease in appetite or lack of appetite. Man, I really thought I might lose some extra weight, now that bonus isn't going to happen either? Why do you gain weight from chemo? I am so disappointed!
