Hi I had a DMX in November and started Tamoxifen last month (so far so good).
Have been struggling with my weight though (like alot of people I presume).
Do you know if we can get any help with weight loss (other than the MacMillan), like referral to SW or WW etc?
Thanks People
Hi mummyknapp
Thanks for posting.
We often hear from people asking how they can lose weight after breast cancer treatment.
If you haven’t done so already, do speak to your breast care nurse, treatment team or GP about any weight loss and exercise programmes that are available in your local area and if they can refer you.
The NHS has developed a 12-week weight loss programme in association with the British Dietetic Association, which your GP can also discuss with you.
Adapting to life after treatment can be difficult and often the need for information and support continues. You may be interested in our Moving Forward resources that are for people who have had a diagnosis of primary breast cancer and have come to the end of their main hospital treatment within the last 2 years. They include our Moving Forward booklet and Moving Forward courses.
Our recent Facebook Live on exercise interventions and breast cancer may be helpful to watch and you might also be interested in these movement, exercise and nutrition workshops.
