Are you currently receiving treatment for breast cancer, or have you completed your active treatment and are now on maintenance therapy? Are you worried about the risk of recurrence or concerned about your daughter's risk after your own breast cancer diagnosis?

 

During active breast treatment, you may experience common side effects that impact your appetite and ability to eat well. Weight fluctuations, including both gain and loss, are also typical during treatment and maintenance therapy. Some individuals have noticed weight gain while taking hormone blockers like tamoxifen or letrozole.

 

In addition to medical treatment, making lifestyle changes such as adopting a balanced diet, engaging in physical activity (with guidance from an exercise physiologist or physiotherapist), and managing stress can improve your quality of life and may even lower the risk of recurrence. For those worried about developing breast cancer, your eating habits may help reduce that risk.
