Although I had a couple of heavy years in college (when I discovered beer), I have always been my ideal weight. I was 110lbs when I was dx. I am ER/PR +.
I have never been overweight in my life and will be 57 this week. Overweight does not run in my family and neither does cancer.
Wore a size 6 when diagnosed in 2000 and am 5'5" or so. HER2+++.
Have "flabbed out" a bit with all the chemo that ran down my stamina so much and also loss of hormones. I do work out, but not more than 2 or 3 times a week (trying to hold the line) besides normal activity to keep up with a large house and yard. (I am ALWAYS behind on things - but cancer does that to us.)
I've been thin all my life (I am 37). I have gained about four pounds over the last five years, which I chalk up to changing jobs to a mostly desk job and from the birth of my son.
I am almost 5 feet 8 inches tall and usually weigh about 114 pounds. I am Her2+++ and ER/PR-
low BMI entire life until reached 40 - put on 10 lbs and grew breasts and hips - still well within "normal weight limits for 5'3. Diagnosised at 43 er+ pr+ and Her2+ put on another 10 lbs since starting hormonal treatment (11/05) - lupron and arimidex. Still within the "normal" weight range - Onc suggested weight watchers even though still wearing a size 4 ( barely)- afraid I will be laughed out of there....
Hi, ER+, 5'7, 135#, slightly thinner than that in 20's and had spells where I'd weigh 5 or so more in my 40's, my winter, holiday weight. But I think the whole range was within normal. I'm having a hard time visualizing a size 4 needing weight watchers. What's your theory Lani? BB
