HI, I wonder if anyone has any ideas regarding weight loss.  MY daughter was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.  My daughter had a single mastectomy and some lympnodes removed.  She then started chemotherapy, which she coped with remarkably well.  After the chemo she had radiotherapy for three weeks and all seemed great.  AT the beginning of all this it was discovered she was 10 weeks pregnant.  Really difficult decisions were made and the pregnancy went ahead.  A beautiful healthy baby was born after the chemo and before the radiotherapy.  She has had so much to cope with over the last year that weight gain does not seem fair.   She is putting on weight every week.  She is small in stature and now weighs 30 kilo more than she did when she was pregnant.  She is exercising every day, eating healthily and is putting on a couple of kilos every week.  Doctors are just saying her hormones are all over the place and don’t know what they can do to help.  They are now offering her weight loss jabs, which she does not want to take as her body has had enough chemicals pumped into it.   Does anyone have any ideas of what she can do or point us in the right direction.
