Breast cancer, and seeking advice

[TanyaRD]

Hi AA. I sense the frustration in your posting and appreciate how aggrevating the lack of "numerical" progress can be. From what you have shared and the course you are on I believe you to be on the right track. Post chemotherapy/post breast cancer is typically a weight-gaining period. Any stability in weight should be applauded because it is HARD work! I know that doesn't make you feel any better but it should be noted. Remember to give yourself credit for what you have accomplished, even if weight is not responding as desired. I encourage you to continue working with the RD and endocrinologist. Also, I encourage you to keep in mind that even if your weight isn't changing as you wish you are actively doing everything recommended for prevention of breast cancer recurrence. Not to mention prevention of just about every other chronic illness.

Keep going. This will pay off.
