Hi I've put on loads of weight because of cancer treatment and chemical menopause.

My diet is really good and I do yoga at the gym but still my weight continues to rise.Really unhappy about my shape now.

I was a size 10 pre treatment and after three years I'm a size 16/18 now.

Talking to my oncologist tomorrow and Doctors about if I qualify for the weight loss injections available now.

Is any else having these problems or on the injections?

  • Hi, I'm also frustrated with putting on weight, which seems to go on in days and take months to lose. My GP did offer to see the nutritionist for support though I have not done that yet. I don't think I'd be happy to consider injections personally, but feeling good about yourself is so very important so I hope you get the support you need from your GP. Best wishes

  • Hi AJM  I am frustrated about my weight as well.  Had cancer 12 years ago and went up to size 18.  Joined weight watchers and lost some of it.  Went down to about a 14.  Now cancer has come back and weight is creeping up again with treatment.  I dont think I would consider the injections because of more chemicals to the body.  I think your oncologist would know if it was safe or not.  Good luck.

  • Hi AJM

    I lost weight with the injections Monjoueno. I was told to stop them when I started chemotherapy.  Ihave gained 13 lb since stopping. Now gabapentin is putting more on .
