I had four rounds and other then a few aches I was lucky no other side effects

@SusanStyle- Have you ever heard of the Trim Healthy Mama diet? I have a friend who lost 60lbs on it... I have been struggling even pre diagnosis with weight... I started it right before and was able to eat really good meals and lost about 8lbs... kept it off through the holidays and was diagnosis in Jan with BC... so I am now back on the plan... found some great support and recipes from the facebook groups and I am losing very slowly but I feel better and healthier.

I had 4 Taxol rounds bi weekly...(this past Thurs was my last!) body aches and pain mostly kicked in 2 days later and that Nuelasta shot made it worse, however I found that giving my body a good day of rest on my "bad day" and then forcing myself to get up out of bed and get around the house more. I didn't over do it, just didn't remain in bed the entire weekend. I found once I started moving around, the body pains lessoned. I found myself able to do a little cardio on my elliptical and some swimming. I am not at a fast pace or anything but forcing myself to get through a half hour I felt like I ran a 5k marathon. I am trying to keep it up daily now that I am done. I have 50 lbs to lose so I need the exercise and I am feeling better ever day.

I was against the steroids from the beginning... they gave me half doses during chemo and I did not take the steroid pills they usually prescribe right after chemo... I did the first 2 rounds and did without the remaining 6 rounds. I did not lose any weight during chemo (which I would have gladly welcomed!) but I didn't gain too much either... maybe 5 lbs that fluctuated. I went into menopause back in 2007 and that when I started gaining... here I am 8 years later and 60lbs heavier. I wish I knew about this diet way back then... probably wouldn't have gained so much. Let me know if you have any questions.. I will be happy to help anyway I can you can email me at [[email: [[email: (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators)

I haven't heard of that, but I will look it up now, thank you!
I was put on very high doses of steroids during chemo to keep up appetite and I would lose 13-17 lbs during, then gain it right back in the next week, which is what our goal was. Now I am thrust into post menopause with chemo, and honestly I have no self control with food now, even buying pop regularly, which I have never done! I have to stop this!
