Hi Cah60

Although my chemotherapy was 3 yrs ago  ny answer to your question is yes ,I wasn't expecting to put on weight at all,I waa  expecting the opposite . 

Like you I was given steroids,and felt hungrier than I normally would. 

I never felt sick throughout all my chemotherapy sessions ( I has 8) 

I was given anti sickness tablets an hour before each chemotherapy session, which worked. 

I'm on Letrazole, been on it for 3yrs have another 7 yrs of taking it. I did lose a few pounds, before I was put on it ,but it makes me ache,and I'm not as active as I was so im not burning as many calories as i used too ,so still heavier than I've ever been, but just gratefull for everyday, as if I hadn't found my cancer lump,and has my trestments ,I may not have been here .

Jassoscared thank you x

Hi Cah - you are definitely not the only one! As part of my treatment for Myeloma, l have gained 7kg in as many weeks. I am not very tall so it’s a lot for me.
l take steroids 2 days per week and I find that some of it is fluid retention as l gain weight after taking the steroids then lose some later in the week. As some of your other responses below l could just carry on eating!  l try to eat sensibly and don’t eat after 7pm. I also don’t have snacks in the house so l’m not tempted! Hopefully my weight will go back to normal once this treatment cycle is complete. Don’t despair!
