I think you suspicions are correct. I have always been very active and work out and run all the time but my weights keeps going up. I finished my 6 months of ABVD and radiation in the last few monts and have been getting heavier. I suspect that all this **** they pumped into us messed up our metabolism. I am going to make an appointment to see my doctor because I can see this getting out of control. Your message really let me know that others are having similar side effects. The side effects of the Chemo drugs are probably going to be lifelong, but I guess it's better than the alternative....
