I was dx with DCIS in 2012, underwent a lumpectomy and 35 radiation treatments. I started taking Tamoxifen after treatments but due to the bone and joint pain we decided to stop. But, today after a visit with my oncologist we decided to try it again. I am so afraid of the weight gain, Ive struggled with weight all my life. Do you feel seeing a dietician and continuing my workout schedule I would benefit?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Tamoxifen is a good Chat Doctor. Anyhow should have a periodical examination of the uterus, and ovaries.  The weight gain may be due to the extra calories in the post-operative period, the rest also would have caused the over weight.  As you think, you can consult a dietitian for advise and follow the advice by reducing the calories and salt.  Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
