Cokkie - Husband's hormone therapy and weight gain

My husband has been on hormone therapy for 8. Weeks and has put on a lot of weight around waist line and is needing to buy larger waisted trousers and bigger shirts. We both have been on  the 5:2 diet and have lost 4 stones each.over the last few years so this is disappointing. Does any one have any tips for reducing waist lines?

thank you.

  • Hi Cokkie,

    I too suffered from the same problem when I was having hormone therapy for prostate cancer. I reckon I put on 1 1/2 stones. Even though I finnished all treatment over four years ago, I am still about a stone heavier than I was and just cant seem to lose it. So I do understand. But the h/t together with the radiotherapy saved my life so I cant complain to much. I just have to be thankful, Best wishes, Brian
