Every time I step on the scale, my weight is up. Have gained about 15 pounds in 8 months. Have been on Herceptin about 5 1/2 months. Have discussed the weight with my onc and also an endrocinologist. Neither have had any magical advice as to how to shed the pounds! The thyroid is a little sluggish, but can't do much about that.

My clothes don't fit and I am short, so 15 pounds is huge. So in the meantime, I walk my legs off, and try to eat sensibly. I have never dropped weight quickly in my life, so doubt very much that the weight will fall off after finishing the herceptin.

But, if the herceptin works, no further complaints here!!
