We get lots of herceptin related comments and questions - here's another:
Does herceptin cause weight gain?
One of our readers left a comment in the box to the right saying that she had "put on loads of weight while on herceptin treatment" and wondered if there was a direct connection? I can't say this happened to me - eyelashes and feeling cold were my biggest bug bears ... but what about you?
If you've have (or are having) herceptin treatments then did it cause you to gain weight?

I am approaching the end of my year of herceptin. I haven't gained any weight. In fact, I lost a couple of pounds this year and it's stayed off.
I think sometimes you just don't feel well during cancer treatment and move less. I was always thin and sedendtary, so being lying around hasn't affected me. People who were more active and now are not moving probably experience weight gain. Also, some chemos put you in menopause - did for me. Many people gain weight then.
Just my thoughts.
