I have been off of MFP for a while. I have cancer & this is my third time on chemo. Are there any others dealing with cancer & trying to lose weight? I am 67 & diagnosed in April 2016. I am on my second reoccurrence & doing chemo again. Would love to hear from anyone who has had trouble losing weight while doing chemo.

    Just the fact that you are still wanting to lose weight when you have other things in life going on right now if highly inspiring, feel free to add me anytime love

    Yes. I am 16 monts post chemo for ovarian cancer and trying to lose the weight I gained during chemo. (30 lbs). It is slow going (b/c I also had a full hysterectomy so I am in surgical menopause so my metabolism is proably a lot slower). I am trying to stick to calories and avoid too much processed foods and refined surgar. Lost about 7 pounds...about 1.5 pounds a week.
