Herceptin Increasing Appetite?

[PinkGirl]

I was waiting for someone to echo my story. I also gained 40 lbs. along the way. I lost weight on FAC and then started to gain on T/H. I had a HUGE appetite that I blamed on the decadron. But when I finished Taxol and stopped the decadron, I kept gaining.

I have not been able to lose it. I manage to drop about 5 pounds and then when I eat normally, I gain it back. I also have HUGE cravings for chocolate. I have always liked chocolate but I didn't used to dream about it !!

My hair is growing very slowly ( used to need to trim it every 4 weeks ) and my fingernails just started to grow last month. I am tall and "big boned" and actually have more of a problem with the # of pounds I weigh than I do with what I look like. I have become a "Monday morning" dieter and exerciser. It lasts until Tuesday.
