Weight gain post breast cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone....

I have a new client who has had bilateral mastectomies and chemo last year and

after initially losing some weight, is now is struggling with weight gain. She

is going to the gym and working out, but is still struggling. Of course I will

work with her kcal needs and see what her intake is like, but is there a

connection between her treatment and the gain?? Estrogen? Meds? I rarely see

this type of patient so any useful information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
