Good morning all,
I am totally freaking out, as I finished chemo on 30th April and the. Finished 5 days of radiotherapy on Monday. During chemo I went from 12stone 7 to 14 stone 5 I was gutted. Over the last 3 weeks I have dropped to 12stone 12. I’m not sure if I’m eating different I know my portions are a bit different and I know I have to get to 11 stone or less for my reconstruction but I’m not trying too hard if that makes sense so now I’m like “has the cancer come back” have many people lost all their treatment weight ? Also how do you deal with the anxiety of it coming back? People I follow on Instagram have found out now stage 4 and theirs been 4 people on a week and I’m scared. I take aromasin everyday and have the goserelin injection
kind regards
leanne
I’m really sorry you’re so worried, really hard, are you still on steroids would be my first question? Because the weight comes off fast when you stop them, also a lot of the ‘weight’ could actually be water retention? I would strongly advise you to connect with your medical team and talk about these concerns, it’s really important you get some peace of mind xx
