unfortunately very true..

Petros contacted me yesterday
first he was hopeless
then we went on voice call
he was better at the call
then he started asking "who is there with you?"
"do you have friends with you"
i said no, it's just the tv - which was true
then all of a sudden he left the conversation
and a message "why have you done this to me?"
and half an hour later a call "have your friends left?"
and didnt wait for my reply, ended the call.
an other jealousy crisis.
what ever i do, he doesnt trust me
never.

is there a chance that someone may put on weight during the chemo?

Hi Tribu

To answer your question:
Yes it's possible.
I have a question for you
What type of cancer the person you mention in your thread is dealing with?

is there a chance that someone may put on weight during the chemo?

yes.

chemotherapy weight gain is caused by fluid retention in your body. Increased fatty tissue. Some chemotherapy regimens may contain steroids. Steroids can cause fat deposits to develop (often between the shoulder blades). And not only.

how to gain weight during chemo sessions:

If you've been diagnosed with cancer, chemotherapy agents (medications) will most likely be used to cure the disease, shrink a tumor, prevent the cancer from spreading, or relieve the symptoms of the disease. This is done through injections, IVs, pills, or indirect injections to fluid around your spinal cord and brain. Regardless of how the chemotherapy is administered, it works by killing fast growing cells. Unfortunately, weight loss is a side effect of the treatment. Learn how to prevent weight loss, put on weight during treatment, and understand the importance of a healthy weight.

How to do it:

Although some people lose weight during cancer treatment, others gain weight. Slight increases in weight during cancer treatment are generally not a problem. But significant weight gain may affect a person's health and ability to undergo treatment.

Weight gain is an especially important health issue for women with breast cancer as more than half experience weight gain during treatment. Reports show that weight gain during treatment is linked to a poorer chance of recovery. Being overweight before treatment begins also increases the risk of serious health conditions. These include high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart problems.

Causes of weight gain during cancer treatment

The following cancer treatments may lead to weight gain:

Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can lead to weight gain in several ways, including by:

Causing the body to hold on to excess fluid, which is called edema

Causing people to reduce physical activity, usually because of fatigue

Causing nausea that is improved by eating

Triggering intense food cravings

Decreasing a person’s metabolism, which is the rate that the body uses energy

Causing menopause in some women, which decreases the metabolism

Steroid medications.Doctors prescribe steroids during cancer treatment for several reasons, including:

To reduce symptoms of inflammation, such as swelling and pain

To treat nausea

As part of the treatment for the cancer itself

However, one side effect of steroids is an increase in appetite. With long-term use, steroids can also cause an increase in fatty tissue. This can increase the size of a person’s abdomen and cause fullness in the neck or face. Steroids may also cause the loss of both weight and muscle mass, which is called wasting. But a noticeable increase in weight usually occurs only when people have been taking steroids continuously for many weeks.

Hormonal therapy. Hormonal therapy may be used to treat breast, uterine, prostate, and testicular cancers. It involves medicines that decrease the amount of estrogen or progesterone in women and testosterone in men. Decreases in these hormone levels can increase fat, decrease muscle, and lower the metabolism.

Managing weight gain

Relieving side effects is an important part of cancer care and treatment. This is called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care. Talk with your health care team about any symptoms you experience and any change in symptoms.

If weight gain becomes a concern, talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian (RD) before starting a diet or changing your eating habits. They can help find the possible cause and the best way to manage it. An RD can also provide nutritional guidelines or a customized diet plan.

Consider the following ways to address weight gain through diet and physical activity:

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Limit fat, sugar, and refined flour.

Drink plenty of water.

Try to use healthier cooking methods whenever possible, such as steaming instead of frying.

Try to identify everyday eating patterns that lead to overeating and inactivity. It may be helpful to meet with an RD to help you with this.

Find physical activities, such as walking or bicycling, that you enjoy. Also, try strength-building exercises if you have lost muscle. But check with your doctor before starting a new type of exercise or increasing your physical activity.

Managing fluid retention-related weight gain

Call your doctor if you experience any of the following signs of fluid retention:

Skin that feels stiff or leaves small indentations on the skin after pressing on the swollen area.

Swelling of the arms or legs, especially around the ankles and wrists.

Rings, wristwatches, bracelets, or shoes that fit tighter than usual.

Decreased flexibility in the hands, elbows, wrists, fingers, or legs.

The following tips can help you manage fluid retention:

Ask a doctor about prescribing a medication that increases urination, called a diuretic, to rid the body of excess water.

Lower the amount of salt in your diet.

Avoid standing for long periods.

Elevate your feet as often as possible.

Avoid crossing your legs, which restricts blood flow.

Weigh yourself at the same time each day and keep track of changes. Bring this log with you to appointments for your health care team to evaluate.

Avoid tight clothing and footwear.

Ask your health care team if wearing support or compression stockings may help.
