   Brilliant cartoon. Thanks for passing it along, Marie.

   I love where it debunks the “losing weight” side effect. Among my friends who also went through chemo we are all over the map. I know someone who gained, another who lost and I stayed stable. The tamoxifen, however, definitely provoked weight gain.

   Thank you for bringing Mag’s Blog to our attention. It’s great the way she puts her words to pictures. I also appreciated the weight comment about chemo. I lost too much weight because the chemo made me so ill. I still got sick on all the medications that were supposed to help and it took me years to get my body back to normal.

     Yes Susan, I was one of those who lost a lot of weight too because I was so awfully sick with the chemo drugs – but in my case, the weight is all back on again – and now the struggle is keeping it off!
