Re: now they are moving in on how/why of weight gain during chemotherapy 4 breast can
I have just finished chemotherapy and have now developed an outrageous sweet tooth. It's a problem that I have never had prior to chemo. I found that I gained water weight after each chemo treatment; on average 7 lbs, which came off each time within 2 weeks. I was put into premature menopause at the age of 39 due to chemo and I definitely feel that my body is sluggish since that occurred. I am going to try a detox and then a vegetarian diet for a while to see how things go and I will eliminate all white food such as pasta and sugar.
Regarding Metformin: My Cancer Clinic at the London Regional Cancer Centre is now embarking on a study of Metformin use in people undergoing chemotherapy and also looking at the sugar "feeding" cancer theory. I will post when I know more after my visit in two weeks.
Have a good day,
DiDi
