I came across your site while looking up info on weight gain while taking tamoxifen. I don't care what the experts say I have definitely found it impossible to shift extra pounds gained after my diagnosis. I do not eat or drink more and I try to take regular exercise but to no avail. I had a mastectomy three years ago but no chemo. Perhaps menopause is to blame. I am 53, however I find it really upsetting since my consultant told me not to gain weight. One thing I became aware of reading the entries on your site was the differences between treatment in the UK and the USA. I feel really lucky that I was in hospital for 5 days after my op and cannot imagine trying to cope with the bleeding and pain at home after 24 hours!I'd welcome any feedback.

PopsyM welcome to the forum I hope you will find it of assistance.

There are medicines that cause weight gain and nothing can be done against that. Are you on any medicine?

I know what you mean. 24 hours for such a major surgery is just ridiculous. I don't really know what the world has come to when something like this can be approved.
