Hi, my daughter had breast cancer, she had a mastectomy, chemo and then radiotherapy. She has been told she could be going into menopause, but at the moment she is having extremely heavy periods for 2 weeks at a time. Since finishing her treatment she has gained a large amount of weight. She does not over eat and she is doing loads of exercise but every week another couple of kilos goes on. Doctors are saying she can’t have HRT treatment and are offering no solution to the weight gain. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Many thanks.
