Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if anyone out there who is post treatment is struggling with weight gain?

I am 10 months into remission after beating stage 4 HL. I had 4 treatments of ABVD and 8 further AVD last year and since my remission started I have piled on weight, about 8kg!

For the last 3 months I️ have been exercising 4 times a week with circuit training cardio, I have a PT and I am eating in a balanced diet and in calorie deficit most days so I am stuck on what to do to reach a healthy weight and I've not lost a lb!

Has anyone dealt with this? Can anyone give me any advice?

This just popped up in my alert and it's so timely! Like so many on this thread I piled it on during AB(V)D x 6 cycles and not much of the 2 stone has come off. I assumed it was because my deal with the treatment was to eat whatever and whenever I felt like. There is some research as someone mentioned above that ABVD leads to average 1.5 stone gain, but without reading it again, memory is that they don't know why and may be to do with lifestyle changes. Good luck everyone!
