I have stage 4 cancer and had a double mustectomy Jan 2012,.. Went through chemo and radiation last year... I am on blockers and a CT scan will be done in July cause the cancer has spread to the bones and picked up 27kg.. I live on veggies and fruit but still picking up... I dont know what to do anymore... I buy clothes just about every 2nd week... Could somebody help me and tell me what I can use????
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The aromatize inhibitors that you are currently taking are steroids and could be responsible for the weight gain. In addition, the stress, lack of physical activity and dietary habits could have led to weight gain. In addition, I would also like to rule out hypothyroidism by doing a TSH, free thyroxine and free thyroxine level in your case. But I would suggest you speak with your treating physician. A sensible eating and exercise plan should be started only after you have seen your physician. Hope this helpsRegards
