Boy, Pink Girl, I am right with you on this one. You described how I feel to a tee! The only difference is that I was able to continue working full time during treatment, fortunately I tolerated everything very well. I had lost about 16 lbs (on purpose) prior to dx, but put back on 20lbs! I often wonder if the Tamoxifen is preventing me from losing weight. I really do eat pretty darn healthy and pass up the junk food most of the time. I would love to excercise but just don't have the energy. I still work full time but at the end of the day I am beat. I am slightly anemic and have just started taking iron supplements. I can't wait for the day my energy returns!
On the plus side - I sure have saved a ton of money because I just don't have the energy to shop like I used to!
All my best,
