I gained weight during chemotherapy even though I was very strict on my diet. I can not lose the weight. Will it ever come off?

Chemotherapy can result in early menopause and a slowing of metabolism for women. Both of these can cause weight gain.

There are many websites that address weight gain during chemotherapy . Susan G. Kolman is one to visit.

Weight loss isn't just for women. My dad probably gained 30 pounds during chemotherapy back in the 1950's and carried it for as many years. YOU don't have to do that!

Best wishes for your continued remission
