Re: Herceptin Weight Gain?
Thank God for yoga pants!!! I gained almost 20 pounds during my Taxol/decatron 3 months. Finished Taxol end of March. I am now on a every 3 week Herceptin treatment. I started Jenny Craig, lost about 8 pounds in 4 months, not too encouraging. Started Arimidex and my doctor told me it won't make you gain but will perhaps make it harder to loose. I lost all my enery while on Taxol and am finally feeling a little better, but I have shortness of breath. I try to walk and work with light weights for upper body as much as I can. I have my 6th of 13 Herceptin only treatment on Friday. You girls give me hope that perhaps its the Herceptin also making weight loss a bit harder. Its hard enough going thru this but hair loss and the weight gain too!!!!
Good Luck Everyone

Right expander had to be taken out before chemo due to infection. Replaced in June so I'm going for my fills. Not sure when the transfer will occur.
